The Annual Fete 2012 was held on Saturday 15th December. The air was festive and all around one could see tastefully decorated stalls beautifully adorned with streamers, balloons, charts bearing catchy slogans and smiling faces galore.
A visitor had no chance to ignore even one of these outlets. Be it the mouth watering mutton biryani or the delicious ‘batashas’, name it and it was there. Lo and behold, there were ‘momos’ too.
There were also stalls where one could buy pretty utility items. Fancy planners, artistic paper bags, along with several exquisitely designed propositions enthralled the buyers.
At the games stalls, without hesitation, the enthusiasts were seen doling out coupons of low and high denominations, keenly expecting ‘wins’ of all sorts. Stall holders had very craftily advertised ‘assured prizes’ and towards the end even preferred discounts.
Almost all visitors were seen sporting tattoos of various shapes and sizes on their faces, back and forearms. It is presumed that the profits of this stall must have sky rocketed.
Not to be missed at any cost, the Juke Box and the DJ Zone were the hottest arenas where music and dance were at its best. As Shakespeare rightly stated, ‘If music be the food of love, play on,’ so did staff and students along with guests enjoyed every miniscule moment of it.
It was amazing to witness the ‘eager beavers’ who from the time this fete was inaugurated by Mrs. Shalini Sinha, Principal Study Hall, till the bewitching hour of 4.00 pm loved every moment of it. It was quite funny to see organizers trying to call for a ‘bandh’ at 4 o’ clock because many players were ‘at it’ and very reluctantly withdrew from these ‘gaming zones’ or ‘music zones’. How audible were the sighs and regrets!
Profits ( monetary ) are still to be calculated but the greatest profit we felt we made was add another magnificent treasure in the form of ‘ happy and enriching moments’ to our wonderful school days to be relived in future.
