5th September is celebrated as Teachers Day in memory of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan and according to Hindu calander auspicious occasion of birth of Lord Krishna, Janmashtami, was to be celebrated on 5th September 2015.
The day was Bonhomie.
To celebrate this day with little kanhaiyas team of AnantAman Social Welfare Society visited an aashram for underprivileged and poor children. It was 3pm then.
We had planned to organise 'Matki Fodh' competition and a couple of games thus scarce time put everyone to begin preparations as we reached there. Tasks were alloted to everyone just like I was supposed to do photography, decorate 'Matka' etc. Deadline was 5pm and everyone did very well to abide by it. Function was started punctually.
Matki(vessel) containing Maakhan was hung high in air, a challenge for Govindas to rise and reach the height to attain Maakhan. Pyramid of one upon other, aiming to break Matki, rose high from 1 storey to 2 then 3 and collapsed. Enthusiasm, energy and determination drove little ones to try once again - to fail again - to try again until they succeeded. As the proverb says "Koshish karne walo ki kabhi haar nhi hoti" ... Finally they tasted victory with creamy Maakhan. Important lessons were learned while competing for challenge and performing traditional ritual.
It was time to celebrate victory, learnings and birthday of Gopal. Music began, everyone was set with jolly mood, to forget the world around, to enjoy and to dance like no one is watching. Latter children were served with evening tea.
We bounced back to field, it was time for more games -- more fun. 'Toss the ball', 'Frog jump race' & 'Blind fold chase'. Members grouped with children to form teams. Creativity was put to test when children were asked to name their teams. "PK", "D's team" and many more funky names came up. Mr. Hemant Gupta took the responsibility to judge. Hooting, supporting and leg pulling chants echoed loud under the calm blue dome. D's team concluded to be champion with overall best performance.
Gopal's favourite Maakhan was distributed among little Kanhaiyas and their care taker.
Coming towards end, we accumulated memories, fun & smiles shared and alot of learnings. It is truly said, nobody actually have a pure heart like a child.
