Easter celebrations are Incomplete without…
Easter comes in spring; it is colourful and it is celebrated with full excitement but what are the other significant elements that are attached with it? What things are integral parts of Easter? Easter eggs and Easter bunny are surely the significant elements of this occasion.
Easter Eggs
Colourful eggs are the most highlighted feature of Easter celebrations. Various intricate designs are painted on eggs which give them enticing look and add to the beauty of the occasion.
Eggs are as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus. They are taken as a symbol because they remain dormant but still a life survives within them. They explain the emergence of a new life.
Initially the real eggs were painted or dyed with different colours. The tradition has changed with modern culture of edible or plastic eggs that are filled with chocolate or candies.
Easter Bunny
An Easter can’t be imagined without bunny. They are supposed to carry the Easter eggs. Easter bunnies are taken as a symbol of fertility as they give birth to young ones in early spring.
The cakes are also decorated with chocolate bunny. Initially Easter bunny used to hide the Easter eggs and children were asked to find them as a part of Easter celebrations. Later on, the Easter bunny got replaced with baskets.
With colourful eggs, cute little bunnies, sweet buns and great love; Easter is a time to enjoy and rejoice…Happy Easter to everyone…

Wrestle Mania 2011…Rock v/s Cena Battle of Champions
Memories pulled me to past, when I heard about Wrestle Mania XXVII 2011. I never used to miss any show of my favourite wrestlers in my teenage. At that time I had no idea what wrestling is all about. I just used to watch it for the sake of entertainment and had no idea that it’s a martial art and a physical competition between two (occasionally more) competitors or sparring partners, who attempt to gain and maintain a superior position. All together, it’s a combination of many techniques such as clinch fighting, throws & and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds.
Star of wrestling, The People’s Champion! Yes you guessed it right…Rock (Dwayne Johnson) who debut in 1995 & won countless championships. Later he started acting in movies & gained the height of popularity in that domain as well.
But now he is back…yes Dwayne Johnson, THE ROCK is back into Wrestling and he has chosen John Cena as his first opponent. The ring will sparkle with the most awaited show “Rock v/s Cena” on April 3, 2011 at Georgia. Wrestling fans will get to witness the art at its best.
