Celebrating the Unity-in-diversity through Indian Festivals

All the festivals got even more glorified and exciting when our little toddlers decided to smear in the fever of India; A-cultured-culture-of-diversified-cultures !! It is right at this age they need to be injected with the dose of rich Indian culture that keeps the whole India united and gives us a reason to celebrate the 'unity in diversity' factor through celebrating festivals. We made every attempt to teach- and -celebrate our festivals to our kids who are going to take the legacy of the same even further that has bonded us so well despite belonging to diverse cultures and different relogions and the same is being inculcated in our little NKGians and with dressing up for the occasion and relishing some delicacies was an absolute bonus.

During Janmashtami, little Kanhas and Radhas stole everybody's hearts adorning their cute and traditional outfits, for the occasion. During Ganesh chaturthi our kids moulded the clay into lovely Ganpati that stole everybody's hearts. And then came Diwali and they loved helping their mothers with mithaai -making. They loved colouring the Diyas and helped their parents in cleaning the house that we all call Diwali- ki -Safai. Christmas saw all the kids dressed up in red and white and they loved singing to the tunes of Jingle bells .They enjoyed Christmas cakes and loved making the Santa caps.

All our National festivals were celebrated with even more "Josh" and gusto. Our teachers left no stone unturned in making them aware of our freedom fighters, our National Kargil heroes.... Those sessions sure saw a lot of patriotic-fervour on this-and-the-other-side on the screen....!!
Jai Hind found a firm place in everyone's heart..
