After a long time, I woke up
early in the morning on 15th of August. If you are guessing that someone woke
me up with a calling bell, you are wrong. Guess again. Yes! your wildest guess
is correct. I woke up early in the morning to join the students of Government
Higher Primary School in celebrating the Independence Day. To mark the 62nd
Independence Day and to pay respect to our nation, the students of Government
Higher Primary School, Jakksandra celebrated the Independence Day with great
enthusiasm. On behalf of Samanvaya Foundation, I helped the students in Independence
Day arrangements and distributed the national flags to all the students to
imbibe the feeling of nationalism.
To grace the occasion, some esteemed people in the
society were invited. Students welcomed the guests in a traditional way with
flowers and lemon. The celebrations began when the chief guest, the president
of the Bangalore Rotary Club, hoisted the flag while the students sang the
National Anthem. Later, the students sang patriotic songs and even performed
for the folk songs. The performance of the talented children truly reflected
the glimpse of rich culture in India. Along with the volunteers of Samanvaya Foundation,
I sang a motivating hindi song “Hum Honge Kamyab….”, which means “We shall
overcome…”. The inspired students responded with a huge applaud.
Sir Menon who is guiding Samanvaya Foundation prepared a
book on Communication Skills and Vedic Mathematics. Ms Sudha, one of the
sponsors of Samanvaya Foundation, released the book and distributed a few
copies of the book among the students to mark the occasion. I could see a spark
of light their eyes when the students received the books. Their eyes reflected
the passion to learn and the zeal to succeed. Later, I distributed the
chocolates and biscuits among the kids.
