Because you are so special Parents…

Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later... that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life. ~Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities. 

Father’s Day was celebrated at Indus World School on 19th June 2012. We at Indus called it “Parents Day" so that the Mothers who are the better halves of the Fathers may not feel left out. It was a very special day for every child at school that day. All the classes were busy making special gifts for their parents. The Pune Indusians proudly planned this day to make the parents proud of their parenthood. And what could be a better way than to make the parents speak about their experiences as parents. The children put up dances and recited poems for their parents. This the little Indusians did in a very short span of only 3-4 days. Jaya Luhana put in a lot of efforts in helping the kids put up this dance. The enthusiasm of the children was seen when little Aditya from the class Nursery asked his teacher to call Jaya and commanded her to come for practice. Jaya left all the work at office and reported to these enthusiastic Indusians who were all eager to make the 19th a memorable day for their loving Parents. Nursery and PP-1 children performed on the song "Chanda Mama" taught by Jaya. They were so good that it couldn’t stop the parents from joining the little angels. The PP-2 kids recited poems for their parents. The Grade-1 and 2 kids danced on the Indus Anthem. And if one has heard the Indus Anthem one would know that the feet automatically begin to dance to its tune. So did our wonderful parents that day. They were overjoyed to see their kids dance for them and they too couldn't help but dance.
