The interesting local news I read was about the rose festival. // I read it in the newspaper. // I read it in January. // I found it interesting because there were various kinds of beautiful roses displayed. In the fair, there were stalls selling different things.
Each day, a lot of sad and disturbing news flood television and newspapers and it looks like crime has taken over humanity. This is one reason I do not like to read news and skip them. One news items which I found interesting, was related to the Rose festival in the Zakir Hussain rose garden. It is a grand festival and held each year for three days in this famous garden. People from different parts of India visit the fair in which thousands of varieties of roses are displayed and the rarest of roses can be seen here. I saw, people of all age groups hovering around in different stalls. There were stalls for foods, games and flowers. Some were also selling seeds. People clicked photos and I waa no exception. I thoroughly enjoyed the festival. I am waiting when it will be held again so that I can enjoy the beauty and mirth once again. My friends also went on the second day and they too enjoyed this festival.
