Vappu
This post is a part of #BlogchatterA2Z Challenge 2023.
Happy May / International Worker’s Day to everyone! It’s Maharashtra’s Foundation Day. It’s also an important day in the history of Finland as it is celebrated to commemorate Catholic Saint Walpurgis. It is also celebrated as one of the biggest Student events in Finland. Students are seen wearing high school/college caps, overall, and picnicking all around the parks. This day marks the beginning of Summer as spring approaches its end. This time, I didn’t attend the Vappu event in Helsinki as I had some other plans but yesterday, I could get the vibes of the festivity when I was traveling towards Helsinki. The metro, which would be relatively empty on other days, was crowded. I have never faced the problem of not getting a seat in the metro but yesterday I did not get a seat. I saw students in their overalls and caps and holding balloons while traveling in the metro.
It was a holiday and a special day for me as grew a year older and wiser with my twin sister. I received a lot of wishes from my friends, family, and acquaintances over calls and messages. It felt great to receive wishes from school and college friends. My husband baked delicious chocolate cupcakes for me which I enjoyed relaxing at home. The birthday lunch was also prepared by him which absolutely satisfied my taste buds. On the occasion of Maharashtra Day, I recorded and uploaded a famous MarathiSong on Youtube [100th video on my YouTube Channel] which I learned during my school days. It brought a lot of memories of my school days for which I felt so grateful. I had a lot of writing tasks to complete for #BlogChatterA2Z Challenge, but I couldn’t control how this day passed and I didn’t let regret take over a beautiful day. After hectic working days, I always look forward to weekends for running errands and pending household tasks like laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc.
Most importantly, I connected with many people today with whom I had not talked for some time and that simply made my day! Talking my heart out, made my day! It literally did! It's the best gift I received today.
