St Patrick’s Day Dublin Ireland 17 March 2010-Festival Parade- BIG KUDOS TO GARDA FOR MANAGING PARADE- Special Coverage Video Part 1


“This certainly is the BIGGEST AND BEST CELEBRATION OF ST’ PATRICK’S DAY IN THE WORLD!!!”

This year, Ireland celebrated it’s 15th year of St’ Patrick’s Festival with a 6 day fun filled entertainment for people of all ages starting from 12th to 17th March 2010 in it’s Captial city Dublin. The theme for this year’s St. Patrick’s Family Parade parade was ‘Extraordinary World’.
Saint Patrick's Day (Lá Fhéile Pádraig in Irish) is celebrated by Irish and non-Irish alike. It is also called St Paddy’s Day, Patrick’s Day and Paddy’s Day. You will see most of the prople coming from various multicultural backgrounds wearing green clothing and Irish symbolic items like shamrocks, leprechaun hats, etc:-

Named after Saint Patrick (AD 387- 461), Patrick’s Day is celebrated every year on 17th March and is a public holiday. All over the world, Irish people gather in their traditional Irish dress fashioned with a green horizon. Families go out together, visit heritage and art centres, attend masses, participate in sports events and attend the St Patrick’s Parade and engage in other festival activities and competitions like the Treasure Hunt. It is also one of the most busiest and profitable days for pubs and hotels as celebrations include mass alcohol consumption with singing and dancing.

The festival showcases Ireland art, heritage and culture. The city was filled with people and I managed to capture the parade for a short time. A big APPRECIATION to all the Garda, ambulance, volunteers and other authorities who did a great job in efficiently and effectively managing the people and parade.

Here is Part 1 of the Special Coverage Video of the Parade in Dublin:

1. Joy in Paint:

Do you love to draw?

Or do you don’t get anymore time to draw and paint your favourite cartoon characters and other sketches?

I just love to draw. I draw what I love to draw. My memories of myself sitting crouched in front of white sheets with crayons and colour pencils in my hands, always appears fresh before me. Back in school, my friends would always comment- Sumod just loves to draw! Anyway, ever since I got employed, I really haven’t been getting enough time to do what I wanted to, or in “Corporate” terms: I have not been managing my time effectively!” So here comes a great opportunity for me to once again indulge in one of my all-time favourite activity-Drawing!

And it all happens in that ‘Paint’ application where I can draw what I want and even use all the colours I have at my disposal. Wow, I’m smiling now :) . This is really great stuff. I’m back to where I started. I’m happy :) Painting is a joy! This use of computer drawing application has really kick-started something new in my life. Though I now have to use the mouse instead of my good ol’ pencil, I can now quickly add, erase and insert a lot of fun things in my Paint sheet. Now I know how to add texts, circles, and images to make my drawing look more beautiful and fun. Creativity is now at my fingertips :)
