The day of Children, 14th November, is a day that can infuse fervor into each one of us; for joy of celebrating & cherishing carefree days of childhood, nothing can match watching the little young doing what they do the best – frolicking and smiling, for reasons that we, as adults, can only try recalling and relating; bringing us a reasonless smile, a sense of enjoyment, as our ‘sense-full’ minds fails to derive meaning behind their subtle pleasures of innocence.

This Children’s Day, the past weekend, took us to a virtual ride to the land of wonders where we alongside teachers, staff members & young little kids of village Akal Academy Gomti, almost lost our confined senses & has sheer fun and did amazing ‘masti’ while playing some crazzzy games and doing some ‘fundoo’ activities.

The Teachers invented some, well, differently creative bunch of activities for the children’s fest

Some highlights:

The ‘Jalebi’ Grab Race – a Race where kids had to (Quickly) literally Gulp a suspended Jalebi half way down the race.
The Kela (Banana) Hogger Try-Outs – the name speaks for itself.
Mr. Balloons-Run  – run to one end, grab balloons & stash them in the other corner.
The Tri-Cycle Battle – watch the kids drive-race what possibly each one of us drove in our childhood and can never fit one anymore.
