Annual Day'10

Hello

Sahej participated in his School's Annual Day in December 2010. He was to be a part of the Western Group Dance. We were told that they will be practicing in School and we just have to provide a Joker Dress for the act. Joker Dress...yes...you have read it correctly.

So we got him a Joker Dress on rent, which was a slight mistake on our part. But you learn as you make mistakes. So we intend to be better prepared next time around.

So all in all around 10 days, the kids practiced in School for the Dance. Just a couple of days before the event, Sahej chose to get himself sick. So he was not in a situation to go to School. We had informed his teacher about that. And guess what. A day before the event, his teacher called us to please send Sahej to School even for a couple of hours so that they can have a final practice. Now thats the first instance in which a teacher might have requested for a kid to be sent to school. So Sahej was all ready and his mommy went and dropped him to School with a promise that she will pick her up from School as well. The promise was actually a fluke as he was not going to school unless his mommy promised him to fetch back as well, and we had hoped that he will be coming back on the bus. So when in the evening, Jovita came back, Sahej was mighty angry with her for not picking her from school. It took much love and affection from both of us to finally cool down Sahej. Hmmmm

So the next day was Sahej' s Annual Day. Jovita dropped him to School in his Joker Dress. He was to wear the Joker dress, different colored socks and Sandals. And we went there later. The program was a nice one. And it dragged on and on with us wondering if we have already missed his act ot not. Jovita kept convincing me that it would be the last act. And rightly so, after much wait, we saw that some kids have lined up near the stage in Joker Dresses. And they looked absolutely stunning. The school teachers had painted their faces and each kid was wearing a Joker Cap and was also having a Joker nose. No single kid was identifiable and we were only able to identify Sahej after much time only because of the dress he was wearing. Great job from teachers. The kids looked their part.

And so the event started. First the boys came on stage and performed, then the girls did their jog and finally we had the couple dances. And later we had a couple of kids rolling on each other and a kid hanging from a ring in the center of the stage. Overall a very good act which got maximum response and applause from the parents. The kids were great and our Sahej was also doing very well. When we came home and saw the recording, Sahej was indeed the one who was doing his steps properly and the other kids sort of were following his steps. But overall a great and exhilarating event.

Later, when Sahej got back, he was given gifts and taken to Hyper City for the games for the good performance he had given.

Later Sahej, me and Jovita all enjoyed the winter break that we had in the last week of December. Sahej enjoyed being taken to Hyper City for the games. He had a blast in the games section and was not ready to come back.

Chalo more later.
