ANAND MELA

We at Jaipuria Jaipur celebrated Anand Mela as part our week long E-week Celebration. The day was indeed a source of “Anand”,the event justifies itself with the name, an activity involving NGO children. An act to bring joy and cheer even for one day brings great contentment to one’s soul. Our institute Jaipuria Jaipur and its students have always been enthusiastic in taking part and organising social events as such. Over 100 children of Sakhi Balniketan NGO were invited to take part in the fest specially organized for them. Every person of the Jaipuria campus was in full enrolment on his or her role for the mela. No stone was left unturned. Sack race, Drawing competition, race, lemon race and dancing were certain activities organised by the students for the children. The children also watched some videos of Chhota Bheem and Doremon. Our student Anil Singh took the role of entertaining children by enacting in a costume of a popular cartoon character “mickey mouse”, completely engrossed in the smile of the surrounding crowd he was able to bring forth the mission for the mela, to bring joy to them. Food is the favourite for all kids and when it comes to the sweets, they are more precious than diamonds for children. Hence, proper attention was given while deciding for the snack. It is heart-warming to look at 100’s of children enthusiastically eating the pastries, patties and various other delicious items offered to them. The students were eagerly serving and helping them in there reach for snacks. Another round of games took place reviving the energy of children after a light brake.

The mela ended with lots of memories to be cherished all life. It is an achievement to be a reason for smile on face of a child. With heart-felt words of pleasantries, the event was brought to close with a promise to meet again.

When I was child, the world seemed to be a place of joy and happiness to me. There was nothing worth worrying.  The most difficult part was to decide whether to have an ice-cream or chocolate.  Few lines which always run down by my mind whenever I think about my childhood days- “Ye daulat bhi le lo, ye shohrat bhi le lo, bhale cheen lo mujhse meri jawaani, magar mujhko lauta do bachchpan ka saawan, wo kaagaz ki kasthi, wo baarish ka paani”. The childhood cannot be forgotten. The memories over whelm me with its beauty and wonder. 

The experience of being part of Anandmela was out of the world. Children were playing and were spreading joy and cheerfulness. The smile on their faces was eye pleasing and created a heart warming experience. They happily moved around students asking so many questions- Didi, aap ka naam kya hai? Bhaiya , mujhe yeh chaiye..Didi, mujhe vo chahiye and the list went on.

Anandmela- An event of joy, happiness and smiles all around which can never be forgotten.
