Sam was keeping busy with her annual day practices at school.... she would sing and dance each day at home leaving me kinda puzzled as to what is she exactly performing in??!! There comes the D day and on a sunday my baby has to wake up at 6am...get ready and rush to school. Its her annual day today. Beginning at 5.40am, I come and go..kissing her..caressing her...touching her so as she preferably herself wakes up. No use...awww... she's in such a sound sleep...Whatt man..a few minutes performance..why cant she sleep...rofl. "Sammie...today is your annual day na..see mumma has kept evrything ready...your lehga...bangles...makeupkit... wanna go?!!" There she moves, yawning with a smile...mumma is it my annual day today? Yes it is..come here my sweety pie. And she lands in my lap, SOOOO excited. Cum'on mumma lets not waste time, then you have to do my makeup also na!!! By 7 she's done with her milk and getting ready and loads of instructions from mumma for the day...
We put her in the car and drive to school. Its quite cold for kids at 7.10 in the morning and I could see many of them with red cheeks...pink lipsticks..kajal and eye liners...but no warmers!! I happen to ask one of the mums whos daughter is in the same performance as Sam and she says..it'll get warm in the bus and at the audi..Kids bcum cranky whne they feel hot. A double-minded Mum creeps up within me but I somehow push her down and drop Sam at school....and keep wondering -would she be feeling uncomfortable wearing a half sleeve top under her choli?!!
And there we reach the Siri Fort Audi at 11, expecting her item to begin anytime. Next announcement tells us that her item is after the next 3 to come and relaxed we sit...my mind restless though - would she be feeling suffocated waiting at the back-stage?!! BUT ALL MY RESTLESSNESS washed off when li'll presidians performed...aww..all that was so very cute..the wonderful hosts at stage. It was surprising to see how kids of that age rembered when to speak WITH EXPRESSIONS and when t o halt and again continue. One of the best was a 3rd grade student who stood on stage for the oath taking by all who were present there. I have always loved the efforts put in by Presidium...performance of the special needs children from Savera special school. Amazing it was to see kids aging from 4 yrs to 10 yrs rolling on their skates on stage ... the taekwondo..pyramids....the Impressive ten academies of the school present their items with a theme....a message....ANd then comes RAMAYANA...and we bend forward on our seats - We have to locate Sam now !! The lovely dialogues by little Rama...Sita and not to forget Surpnakha..she was so sweet chubby..and the way she spoke...why would any Rama or Laxman feel like chopping her nose...lolz!! The chubby Ravana :-) The vanvaasi Rama..who's wig strangled itself in the bow and got removed and he was busy setting it whilst speaking his dialogues...that left the audience into laughter filled with love for the innocence. Dhan-tan-tan...comes Sam's dance :-) she looks cute and much younger with kids of her age as to what we feel her to be at home !!
Each time I attend any of the get-togethers at Presidium, I feel elated and proud parent of a Presidian, a school thats winning laurels all over the world and nurturing our kids with love, affection, truth and facts of life yet preparing them to face the actual world. I hope Sam excels and our faith keeps making us proud!!
