Necessity is the mother of invention, due to life's  needs, people start to invent methods to making their lives easier. There are lots of examples on the modern inventions like: computers, planes and cell-phones. All these stuff changed our lives and made it more comfortable and luxuries. Our world had experienced many changes within the last century, and one of the most influence changes is the invention of the cellphone. The cellphone has completely changed the way we communicate,  convenience, and quality of our communication.
 
    The cell phone has made communication more convenient than ever before, however earlier people used to write letters and post them to their relatives and friends. On the other hand, now people have a great invention of cell phone with them so that they can make a phone call anytime, anywhere..
 
            In addition, when people send letters earlier it took so much of time to inform other person about anything, but now people have the most convenient way to inform others by sending sms and to talk to them. Cells phones have created a network of human beings. However in the past, networks of people were limited, because it took lots of time and effort to spread news.
           These improvement of communications have resulted good, but in a decrease of the quality of communication also. Communication is so easy nowadays, people take less time to think about what they're saying. An accurately conveyed message is less valuable, because people take communication for granted. People think that if a mistake is made, it can quickly be fixed with another phone call.  However, when people in past write letters, they first think about what they have to say. Whatever was written that was done, nothing can be fixed so quickly or easily. It will never be same as it was.
           The invention of the cellphone has changed the society by giving us the amazing power of communication. However, the cell phone is a great invention that has changed the convenience, speed, and efficiency of our modern day communication.

My Trip To America:

             It was 2 years before, in April 2010 when i first came to America from India. I was very excited that finally i was here here to my dream country. It was a very long flight. It was a beautiful sunny day. I was so tired and was feeling sleepy. Then next day very first I went to New York with my Husband and there we saw Times square. I remember i was wearing pink top and white trouser, which is one of my Favorite combination. We enjoyed delicious food there.
 

                                 Then we went to conneticut and stayed there for 10 days. We were staying there with my Husband's brother. Later we went to Atlanta, Georgia. Firstly we found so much of trouble there as we hardly know anyone there. we had to look for our stay, food and everything else.Then finally we found our needs. After few months staying there, i was blessed with a Baby boy in the month of September 2010 in Grady Hospital. That was The best Day of my life. I was in the Hospital for 2 days and then i was discharged and we came back home. My mother in law came the next day from india when my baby was born.She had taken care of my baby so well. I learnt how to take care of the baby so well from her. Then she left back to India. i was in Georgia for 18 months approximately.

                                                 "Diwali Festival of INDIA"
                              
                         Festivals are an event, usually and ordinarily staged by a local community, which centers on and celebrates some unique aspect of that community. Festivals in India are an integral part of people's life. Festivals of India portray the rich cultural heritage of the country.One of the main and important festivals of India is "DIWALI." The festival has been celebrated for ages in India.But do you have any idea how and when did it first originate? What is the History of this festival, meaning and how it is celebrated?
Decorated with Diyas 'LAMPS'
   
    Diwali is the time to enjoy the delicious sweets, light the bright lamps and have a sparkling celebration.The history of Diwali celebrations is nearly as old as the history of India. It is since ancient times that Diwali has been celebrated. It is not easy to say now what really was the reason behind its origin. Different people believe different events to be the cause behind this festival. The most well known story behind Diwali is in the Ramayana, the great Hindu epic. According to Ramayana, Rama, the prince of Ayodhya was ordered by his father, King Dasharatha, to go away from his country and come back after living in the forest for fourteen years. So Rama went on exile with his devoted wife Sita and faithful brother, Lakshmana. When Ravana, the demon king of Lanka abducted Sita and took her away to his island kingdom of Lanka, Rama fought against and killed Ravana. He rescued Sita and returned to Ayodhya after fourteen years. The people of Ayodhya were very happy to hear of their beloved prince's homecoming. To celebrate Rama's return to Ayodhya, they lit up their houses with earthen lamps (diyas), burst crackers and decorated the entire city in the grandest manner.This is believed to have started the tradition of Diwali. Year after year this homecoming of Lord Rama is celebrated on Diwali with lights, fireworks and bursting of crackers. The festival gets its name Deepawali, or Diwali, from the rows (avali) of lamps (deepa) that the people of Ayodhya lit to welcome their King.

  "FIRE CRACKERS"




    The word "Diwali" is a variation of the Sanskrit word "Deepavali" which means "a continuous line of lamps" (The word 'Deep' means "light", and 'avali' means "a continuous line"). Thus, Diwali is the time to celebrate with lights.




    The first day of Diwali is Dhanteras. Doorways are hung with torans of mango leaves and marigolds. Rangolis are drawn with different coloured powders to welcome guests. The traditional motifs are often linked with auspicious symbols of good luck. Oil diyas are arranged in and around the house. Because of these flickering lamps, the festival has acquired its name : Dipawali or Diwali meaning `a rows of lamps'. On this day, people buy something for the house or some jewellery for the women of the house. It is auspicious to be buy something metallic, esp silver. The next day is also called Chhoti Diwali.On the dark new moon night, the entrances to all homes are lit up and decorated with rangoli patterns to welcome Lakshmi, the radiant consort of Vishnu and the goddess of wealth and lustre. Lakshmi Puja is performed on this day. Diwali is the last day of financial year in traditional Hindu business and businessmen. The day ends with a mega cracker bursting sessions. For 5-6 hours, every family burns fire crackers worth thousands of ruppees. Poplular fire crackers are sparkling pots, bombs, rockets etc.

    Diwali, one of the longest festivals in the Hindu year, is a time when everything in India comes to a standstill except family life, feasting and shopping. Diwali is considered auspicious for shopping, inaugurations of new homes, business deals or for starting any new ventures and projects. In short, Diwali is festival of excitement. According to me, this festival should never end but anything that has started should meet its end. But, this festival always ends happily. I like this festival very much.

Happiness
Happiness to me is when i am with my family (my husband and my son). When my son was born that was the happiest moment of my life. I was feeling on the top of the world. When he look at me i know he want to say something like he is hungry, he want to play or he want to sleep. When he call me mumma i feel like i have to live for him and have to take care of him. I have to save him from every difficult time. On the other hand i am also very happy when i am with my husband. He is very caring. He gives every happiness to me. He knows what i need and what i want. My most happiest times are spent with my mom as well. she was the most beautiful lady. When she was alive she was always happy and makes everyone happy. I have learnt from her how to be happy in good times and in bad times. And how to make others happy too.

            

Happiness is the most important part of the life. When we are happy everything around us seems to be happy. Happiness makes us feel like flying in the sky like a free bird. When we are sad, a small happiness can change our saddness into happiness and we forgot our all sorrows.







      SMILE PLEASE            "BE HAPPY ALWAYS"




 Happiness can save us from every difficulty, can save from every ocean of deep sorrow.

"Happiness can bring a Million dollar smile on our Face".
