This Photo was taken on Halloween day. Halloween day is a folk festival celebrated in the USA. People here spend a lot of money at that time. Kids dress up in different costumes, and go door to door, and ask for a Trick or Treat. People can either perform a trick or give them a treat ( Candies/Choclates etc. ). I am not aware of the origins of this festival, this is not celebrated in Europe I believe.
Smriti is dressed up as a Teddy Bear. This was taken when she went to School. Later in the evening she had a great time going for Trick or Treat.
