Green Grass, lovely children, 100
plus beaming parents and the ever enthusiastic staff of Pathways Noida was the
ideal setting for The Sports Fiesta.
It began with the Grade 1
students doing a bubbly performance and followed up with the toddlers marching
down thinking it is the Republic Day parade at Rajpath. 
The entire fiesta, as rightly
coined, brought the parents to cheer their children who were all smiles and
enthusiastic with high energy levels which will make Red Bull proud. Dancing to vibrant music or putting the ball
in the basket or crawling under the cover or whatever the children were upto
was thrilling to the core. The enthusiasm was over flowing to the brim and
proud parents clicked all these lovely memories and am sure would have
Facebooked by now!!
Making it participative and No
One Wins theme was ideal but this surprisingly saw the children more
competitive without being told. Fifteen minutes down the fiesta saw a change of
clothes, children removed all their winter wear to be more comfortable and were
sweating to enjoy the thrill of mild sunlight which brought cheers to the
organizers face since it was predicted as a wet day by our ever unpredictable
Met department.
After the children it was the
turn of the parents to participate in the fiesta with a round of Musical Chair
without the chairs in place, the chairs were replaced by multi coloured Hula
hoops. The icing on the cake was again the enthusiasm of the parents while
being cheered by their children. It was fun, all in all.
All calories burnt out, it was
time for a quick snack and a cuppa piping hot masala tea which was really
exceptional.
As they say in school, it was
Home time then.
