::::::Fancy Dress Competition:::::

“What in your mind do you think you are doing?” inquired my fuming “red-with-anger” drama teacher, when she caught me fiddling with my costume. “Nothing Ma’am. Trying to tighten this little thread”, came my fraudulent reply. She was furious with the way I was behaving in my new and highly-prickling apparel. But what could I do? It wasn’t five minutes that I had put on the costume and I  found that I was scratching myself all over, thanks to the highly itchy and “supposed-to-be panda” attire. And I wasn’t the only one who felt this, I soon realized that all of my friends were equally appalled by their new costumes too. The drama teacher had a look of absolute disgust on her face.

Nevertheless, all of us were equally excited about the competition.  Iridescent  attire  adorned  the  school  ground  . All of us had  turned up at the fancy dress competition dressed imaginatively.  The costumes, the experimentation with our appearance,  the thrill  of  the  competition  , a break from the walled  classroom  learning , all  intensified  the  buzzing  at  the  school  ground .

Honestly speaking, I am no fan of “fancy dress competitions”, although I had experienced people showing tremendous interest in these competitions and dressing up as perfectly as possible; and I really give credit to their spellbinding efforts. All around me were fabulous characters; diverse  colours  of  India were spread all over by people wearing regional costumes, Wild  life  was  also  active  and  alive  on  the  ground, and some  animated  the  world  of  fairy  tales  and  cartoon  characters  and  brought  it  closer  to  us .

there was one girl I spotted, cleverly dressed up as a witch(a cute one). A starry and pointed hat was placed on her head, and a creepy cloak was wrapped around her. She had half-moon glasses and her extremely long robe dragged itself as she walked. Another boy was very cleverly dressed up as a pixie.  a long pointed nose, a cleverly designed negligee, and the streamlined shape of the shoe with a mass of cotton attached towards its ends, were the features that made him exclusive.

And now the greatest anxiety were the results. Everybody awaited them eagerly. Though we were satisfied to have participated, winning the title of the day’s event  was something great. Apprehension grew and everybody was curious.

The atmosphere was quite tensed. The time had arrived and it came very much to my pleasure that the pixie whose attire I had really appreciated had bagged the first prize.

When it comes to a fancy dress competition, I feel that the only way to win it is by being innovative. But then a fancy dress is not only about a ...
