OH12 - Independence Day Celebration- Evening Cultural Programme

It has been 4 days, when India celebrated Independence day. These days have been real hectic, so could not come back to write.
Evening was spent in watching the cultural programme with performances by OH children and mommies.The flavour of the programme was patriotism. The programme was much better than last year's performances, which is a good thing as I believe in bettering one's level in everything. Here are few glimpses of the programme. Have a look:


A fashion show by children as young as 4 yrs old was a hit event. The freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Mahatama Gandhi, Laxmi Bai and Subhash Bose were seen sharing stage with Indian Icon of free India like Marycom, Lata Mangeshkar, Priyanka Chopra, Sachin Tendulkar. Political leaders like PM Modi , Mother Teresa, Sarojini Naidu were also remembered. Mothers have really worked hard in creating the correct ensemble and personality.  


OH Karate kids gave a marvelous performance. OH residents came in full strength and enjoyed the programme.

Spirited dances by young girls and boys were enjoyed by one and all.

The dance by boys, I forgot the song has been repeated since last 3 functions. Yeh dil maange ab change... please no more repetitions.



After a performance of almost two hours, the whole gathering was served with dinner of poori- bevadi, raita, fried rice and Jalebi.

I had hurried back after having my dinner as soon as it was laid down. Food was hot, tasty and sumptuous.

So, with night, all the patriotism also went to sleep, till it will be taken out, cleaned and decorated on next holiday on 26th January! Good night! A new day, some new challenges- I am looking forward to it!
