Children's Day Special(or was it???)
The birthday of India's first PM was celebrated on a rather subdued note today. The emphasis was more on the "langar" than Children's Day.
The day began not with encouraging words in the Assembly, but with "On Conduct in Company" in English class(not that I didn't like the class, the assembly could've come first). At 9 A.M., we were finally called out to the basketball court(s) where slots for each class were alloted. I had expected a program on the lines of last years events, however, there was no show, no special assembly, and the little speech given by one student on Guru Nanak Jayanti(or was it Children's Day?) was lost in the din of the commotion of the classes being seated and the prefects running helter-skelter looking after food arrangements. The unfortunate prefects had their turn in the end to a somewhat "lesser" meal, compared to what the other students got. The students, well, the Science students were treated to a power-packed extra class, while the Commerce students were lucky enough to cool their heels. The day got over at 11:30. At least we all got a Munch!!
Ok, I didn't expect a grandiose event. But at least a special "teacher's assembly", a few words on how important we children are, etc. etc. Is that much too much to ask for?

well vivek i am dissapointed with the teachers not doing anything for us.
However, i being a prefect, it was still an enjoyable experience. the collection, organisation and distribution of food was an enjoyable experience. we had lots of funny moments, and enjoyed every bit of the frentic acitivities
