Narayan‚ Arundhathi Roy‚ Salman Rushdie‚ etc. have always charmed and thrilled me‚ giving waves of delight‚ leisure‚ relaxation and mental refreshment. My favourite book is ‘City of Joy’ written by Dominique Lappiere. The book is a touching description of the lives of the slum-dwellers of Kolkata. The street-urchins‚ cycle-rickshaw pullers‚ city-vendors‚ coolies‚ pimps‚ ordinary men and women are the heroes and heroines of this story. Their lives‚ their joys and suffering and their pitiable existence

AN ESSAY ON MY FAVOURITE FESTIVAL India is a multicultural land where various languages are spoken‚ may religious and customs observed‚ and may festivals are celebrated. Each festival has a religious or mythological significance behind it. All festivals are celebrated with enthusiasm and traditional gaiety. Children especially enjoy them a great deal.

MY FAVOURITE PLACE IN MY CITY I am in love with a place in my origin city. It is a special spot for me. It is called El Cejo. My father discovered it to me. He is keen on walking and I have inherited his hobby. Since I have been a child he has taken me to spend the afternoon hiking. This place is located quite near my house but with some steps you have the feeling you are not in Lorca. My region is extremely dry but this place is like an oasis in the desert. To gain access to El Cejo you need
