Jolly Republic Day (2022-2023)
The day started with our dignitaries being escorted by our Captain and Vice- Captain while our melodious band played. The head of our Sarasvi family
Madam Korde, our energetic Principal Mrs. Anita Pinto, enthusiastic
coordinators, Mr Balram Das and Mrs. Meenakshi Bangera were present. 8 th
and 9 th graders were present on the ground. Students of other standards were
also present. Madam Korde hoisted the flag, and everyone struck salutes from
the bottom of their hearts. We sang our national song, after which some of the
dignitaries gave speeches. We all took a pledge, never to consume tobacco.
The guests were again escorted around the school building, where people had
already gathered and made a huge crowd for the morning session of the
funfair. Then, finally everyone’s wait came to an end when the ribbons were
cut. Then everyone entered, and thus started the ‘TEMPTATION FUNFAIR
2022-23’.
All the standards had their stalls setup on the grounds, some selling
Manchurians, some hosting games, etc, etc. We saw a lot of book stalls too
along with the usual in Diamond Hall, it was a total treat for the avid readers
(who probably go on to become the Reader Kings and Queens of our school),
right from the little ones to the experienced readers. Many parents to had
setup their stalls on rent. Everyone visited these extravagant choices of stalls.
Many teachers took turns selling coupons for the game stalls. Everything took
place systematically.
All throughout the day, there were dances being performed for the visiting
audience to simple enjoy. This booming beauty of our vibrant funfair was so
loud, it resonated throughout the world, that even the people who weren’t
physically present would know that Sarasvis were at it once again! Many of our
ex-students too had visited, even Jay Dudhane, our celebrity ex-student had
come on the occasion of promotion of his thriller Marathi film! Every year on
this day, our students from all over the world take time from lives to make it to
our program at school. This is the magic of 26 th January celebration in our
school; it is a tradition which must be kept.
Happy Republic Day everyone!
