Every year a fair is held in Faqir Abad with great pomp and show in the month of March. This fair is held in the memory of Saint. People from far and wide participate in it.
This year I went to see the fair in the company of my friends. When we reached there, we saw thousands of people who had come from the neighboring villages. They included men, women and children. They were all dressed in beautiful clothes.
Temporary shops or stalls were set up where set up where cheap articles of daily use were available. Girls and women were purchasing ear-rings, bangles and other articles. Children were attracted by the toys. A large number of people were seen buying sweets from different sweet shops. Other shops were set up where the most commonly used cloth was available. The teashops were the most favorite spots. A large number of people were sitting in front of these shops.
When we moved to another side, I saw a juggler who was amusing the people with his clever tricks. His tricks were really marvelous. In the midst of a crowd, I saw a snake-charmer. He was playing on his flute pipe. Before his flute were dancing some serpents. It was really a very interesting sight.
In the afternoon, we saw a very interesting football match played at the High School Ground. When the evening came, the people began to disperse. Everybody was in a hurry to return home. Most of the people were carrying something to their houses. I enjoyed this fair very much. I felt very tired on that day but i enjoyed this delightful fair to my heart's content.
