Steemit Engagement Challenge S2W2 | Steem4Nigeria Contest | No place like home: Tell us why you prefer your country to any other country by @monz122

Hello everyone this is Monz from India hope you people are doing great and enjoying your days happily. So I am here with the second engagement challenge of this week and I would like to thank this community and the Contest organisers for choosing such an amazing topic.

I belong from India which is one of the most beautiful and populated countries among the world. It has 29 states and 8 union territories. People from all across the globe lives in India and the best part of it is other countries in the world are known as bhog bhoomi whereas India is the only country which is known as karma bhoomi .

India has the diversity and besides Sanskrit and Hindi being the main language there are 21 languages spoken in India. India has some beautiful hill stations like Nainital and Ooty. India was also called the golden bird once upon a time . It is a beautiful country and the main religion of India is Hinduism.

The national bird of India is Peacock and lotus is the national flower of India . There are many tourist attraction places like Taj Mahal , Red Fort , Holy Ganga river and many other holy places too. People from other countries come to India to learn Yoga and spirituality.

There are many things which interest me about my country and most interesting things about my country is its food and festivals . Many festivals are celebrated in India like Durga Puja , Deepawali , Holi , Makar Sankranti etc. But my favourite festival is Deepawali.

Deepawali is the festival of lights people clean and decorate their houses with lights and earthern lamps which looks mesmerizing. On the evening of Deepawali we burn crackers and Celebrate this festival by greeting each others.

The the things mentioned above I prefer for over other countries are the festivals and the culture of India. In India we celebrate many festivals compared to other countries . Moreover the people of India are very spiritual compared to other countries of the world.

The other thing which I prefer my country over other countries are spices and spicy foods of India. India produced many types of spices enhance we get to eat too many spicy foods in India like samosas spicy aalu dam, Dosas etc.

India is also very famous for yoga and people across the globe come here to learn yoga from Yogis of India. Yoga helps to balance your mind body and also keeps you healthy and free from disease. Thanks which I prefer my country for over other countries.

As I stated earlier India is one of the most spiritual country and it is full of Holy places and rivers I am going to that places gives me immense and happiness satisfaction and inner peace. So first of all because of too many holy places I will miss my country if I go to any other country. So for this reason I will definitely want to come back to my place.

Next thing is that Indian food is my favourite as I had been eating it since my childhood and it feels like being in home whenever I eat Indian food. So if I leave my country I may not get the opportunity to have the same taste and food like India.

Another reason which holds me back in India is the festivals as in other countries there are many Indian festivals which are not known by people of other countries and hence are not celebrated by them like chhath puja .Being an Indian I am used to celebrating all the Indian festivals with happiness so for this reason I will return back to India.

So at last I want to conclude that sare "Jahan se achcha Hindustan hamara" I love my country and want to stay here and work for my own country and make the people of my country proud.

I would like to @deepak94 , @sumit71428 and @riyaa to take part in this amazing contest.

Thank you and have a great day ahead everyone!
