The day before yesterday was a festival called Ningol Chakkouba. It is a very special day for us. On this day, we usually go to my mom’s real home and eat a big feast with my mom’s brothers and sisters. My mom always gets gifts, and I also get some money.

Last year, I got 750 rupees, but my mom spent it all!

This year, we could not go because someone passed away in my mom’s family. We have to wait for one year, until the first death anniversary, before we can visit again.

Still, the day before yesterday was fun because both my mom and dad had a holiday. We watched a movie together about a man who trains some kids to play basketball really well. My favourite line from the movie was when he said, “They are not normal, they are nightmares!”

At the end, the kids won the championship! It was such a happy and exciting movie.
