Update: The painting submitted by Ahana didnt win the prize, but was shortlisted :-). Take a look here: http://www.indianstage.in/events/tfc_paintings.html

Kids with The Clown

Ahana singing Gudiya chalti chaand chalta gudiya rukti chaand rukta

Had booked for 3 plays but ended going up only for one as Ahana was not keeping well. That one play was also worth it, to see her laughing, smiling & singing with the characters after 2 day long of illness.

The story is of a lonely little girl who does not have a sibling and is alone at home, the only friend she has is the Moon. One night when she is out for a walk she hears a Clown cry who is so hungry that he is ready to eat up her best friend thinking it to be a chappati. The girl requests the clown not to eat the moon and promises to get him nana vyanjan..which means Varieties of delicious food from her grandmother. This story is about the girl bringing him the food and the people she meets on her way back. Songs in this drama are to be sung by the audience. The play was done first by the actors and then children who attended this play were invited to do this play again.

Ahana loved it, coz she got the chance to go up the stage and sing for Gudiya (the lonely girl). The good part about this was the audience participation and parent encouragement.

Thorough entertainment from children....from those who knew Hindi and from those who didnt :-)

thats her entry for the drawing contest
