They Came....They Saw...... and they conquered.
It was perfect bright sunny day. Jan 13th (Saturday) was one of the most exciting and learning day for kids as well as for volunteers. While volunteers struggled hard to cope up the inquisitive kids and keep their excitement in control the kids were happy to see the colorful world they were unaware of.
Kids ran in all four direction in the museum just to ensure that they don't miss out anything. Volunteers felt that they have brought the kids to a factory of knowledge and information. Jurassic Park, Mirror Maze, Xylophone, Printing Press, Post Office, TV Station to name a few were prime attraction for them and they didn't hesitate to say 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Inquilab Zindabad' when they passed models of Parliament and Red Fort. Zubair was found busy delivering a small lecture in whatever they saw.
Later in the noon the carnival moved Bal Bhawan lawns where kids enjoyed delicious Puri-Sabzi-Choley- Paratha. Thanks to the people behind in making them. To our surprise, no one was found drowsing after having such a nice meal instead a new energy was visible among kids and volunteers. Songs,Jokes, Sprint,Dance, Tug-of-War everything was experimented but this was just a beginning as DJ- Ritesh was yet to strike when everyone assembled on the Bal Bhawan's amphitheater. Gradually stage was set and everyone danced to their heart, even experimenting with some salsa moves. Once exhausted they were served with Fruity-Samosas- Sweets- Bananas- Chocolates. Kids also enjoyed the glimpse of rabbits and pigeons.
By evening the bus started moving back to its destination while kids sang songs and shayaris. Suddenly couple of volunteers realized that it's Lohri when they saw bonfire and heard Dhols at Dilli Haat. Nothing could stop their zeal as they jumped in and started dancing after having some coffee. They later realized that they were covered by S1 and NDTV when they returned home :-)
