I-Day 2016

I was away on field work but the boys kept their date with the Independence day celebration on campus.

I-Day 2015

Happy Independence day to all! 

We are just back from the I-Day celebrations in Kabir's school and in the Institute. This year, however, the kids have grown too old to allow me to take the customary pictures of them with the tricolour. So I post some pictures from Anurag's notebook instead. 

(flag has four colours: orange and green and white and blue)

(The flag is green and yellow in colour. The tree is big (and) brown. The stick is tall and strong. The house is red. There are eleven birds)

Update: finally managed a picture!

Long festive week - Rakhi, Independence day and Janmashthmi celebrations

Independence day 2013

Like the past 2 years, we went to the IITB Independence Day celebration at the main building this morning. After flag hoisting, when everyone sang the National Anthem, Anurag was surprised that everyone knew the "song from his school". 

Kabir wanted to know more about the relevance of Independence Day and I tried to give him a 101 on the freedom struggle. It made him somewhat upset and he had so many more questions that I think I need to find him a good book on this subject.

On a side note, we have been biking a lot on campus and it was all the more fun today with the tricolour in front of the bicycles.
