AHAna’s experience


AHA volunteer auditions on 5th July 2014 for performing at the launch of AHA International theatre festival on the 10th of July 2014.…

Auditions....
Children were asked to think of a character, describe it and name it.
Act as if the child is pulling out something from an imaginary box and act in such a way that the audience is able to guess what it is.
Create a rhyme describing the character the child has thought of.

Auditions done...
Children geared up for preparing the script for their play. And Anuja Ghosalkar’s way of getting the kids to own the script was to use their characters & dialogues for the play. 2hrs of practice everyday for 5 days and children were ready to perform at Rangashankara on the 10th of July. 2 songs included  in the play of which one was written by Ahana and for another tune was from her again. Their show which lasted for about 10 mins was executed very well by every child.

Word Meanings

Om was trying to create his own story...mentioned the word Cannibal
Amma: Om do you know what is the meaning of Cannibal?
Om: Yesss...(with a look that said, why are you asking me such silly questions)
Amma: So why dont you tell me the meanining
Om: Human eating people
Amma & Appa...shocked 

And why are we shocked here...coz Ahana surprisingly didnt know the meaning to this :-D. For a change Om had something to boast about lol

Om watching Chhota Bheem in hindi
Appa hears the word Antariksh in the background and asks...
Appa: Om do you know what is the meaning of Antariksh?
Om: Space

Start of school again

Baby moves to fifth and baba moves to UKG.
Put baby for keyboard classes. And still searching for a flute/ tabla classes for baba. Need something closer to home.
Its a month since school started and Baba got home Spotty (Soft toy- a Dog). Given for best behaved child for a particular week. He was Star of the week and got to take home Spotty for the weekend.
I missed clicking a picture of his with Spotty. Hopefully he will get it again. I see the competitive spirit he has to get as many stars as possible in a day from his teachers.
