Children’s Day, also known as ‘Bal Divas’, is celebrated on
the 14th of November. 14th November was the birthday of
India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, who was also called Chacha Nehru by children. This was
because he was quite fond of them and treated them well. Nehru always
emphasized that children should be given love and affection because he saw them
as the future of India. Many functions are organized in schools, offices and
other organizations to celebrate this occasion. In most schools, functions are
held where children perform on stage. They often sing songs, enact plays or
dance.
This year, in our
school Pathways, since there was a holiday on the 14th, we only had
a chance to celebrate the event on the 16th. The day was like any
other day, except for when our teachers brought us together for a special
assembly and put on a great show for all of us. The Middle School teachers had
composed a ‘rap’ song which they performed on stage, the Primary School
teachers had put on a play and the Senior School teachers mimicked the 12th
grade students. It was a lot of fun and I think we are very lucky to have
teachers who care so much about us. Children’s Day or ‘Bal Divas’ is special
for every child in the country and it is one of those school days which prove
to be even more fun than weekends.
