Paranoid government spoiled our school's "Dahi Handi"

We had been preparing for this spectacular celebration for weeks. KITE School organises 'Dahi Handi' for little ones in a special stylised way. It ensures every child's participation and one moment of thrill when the child is given a chance to actully hit the 'Handi'. Everything is staged and the result is always 'win-win' for everyone and they cherish this memory for ever.

But this year the government has declared seven days forced holiday in all the schools because of the reported cases of swine flu and deaths because of it. I do not understand its justification. People cant just sit in closed doors for days together in cities like Mumabi. Media should make people more aware than scare. And the government should get into better management mode than just forcing stupid dictats.

Coming back to KITE School activities, we had missed one opportunity of celebration but the other one is not far behind. KITE School will be celebrating "Yellow Day" on 24th August and we expect golden smiles all around that day.
