School Mahotsov





I have appeared Neel's second annual school day on 5th December 2019. I was happy and enthusiastic to appear in the annual day auditorium venue at District Libray, Guwahati, Assam. It was a colorful arrangement thonged with teachers, parents, invited dignitaries. All tiny kids dressed differently to perform different events. Kids were delighted inside the auditorium with their parents, teachers and other guests. Neel was much excited to have me and his mother together to his school event. Neel's all-time favorite friend Mr.Sarik and his other peers surrounded us and complement each other. 


The theme of the program was the Our Own Culture and the annual day program was designed traditionally. Neel wore dhuti pant and a white T-shirt. They have first performed a chorus song of Bharat Ratna Dr. Bhupen Hazarika. Song was Rong Rong Nana Rong . Following the program, they performed Jhumur dance. Jhumur dance is a traditional dance of the tea tribe community of Assam.

Neel's mom has participated in a group dance with 10 other mothers. They have performed a traditional dance with support of music composition. It was the best entertainment of the day and all the audiences hailing all mom's performance specially Puspanjalee(Neel's Mom). 

The entire program was beautiful and entertaining. But I felt something lacking in the program design. 




  • As this is a school annual day so school authority may display a glance of overall all year event though simple powerpoint or a video.
  • Puspanjalee(Neel's mom)
  • All the programs designed with playback music instead of these programs may include group recitation, storytelling drama so and so.


Finally, I love this school very much where Neel's tiny finger learns to draw figures and letters. he got first exposure outside world through this school. Neel will admit to another school from the next year for the higher class. Time is flying I still remember the weeping eyes of Neel in the assembly and year after well-groomed jolly and happy boy.

 I wish all the best for Kidzee Narengi. We are forever remembering you.

Know Children Writer XII-Janhavi Samant

  Janhavi Samant is a children’s author, journalist, and content marketing professional with a deep passion for storytelling. Her love for tales began in childhood, listening to her grandma and parents share a variety of stories—funny, heroic, tragic, and even outright bizarre. These early experiences instilled in her a lifelong fascination with the power of stories to connect and entertain. As a mother, Samant has continued this storytelling tradition. She finds joy in retelling, recycling, and even creating new tales for her children at bedtime. For her, these moments are not just about entertainment; they are about building strong, enduring bonds between parents and kids. She believes stories are the simplest and most powerful way to foster imagination, empathy, and creativity. “Stories help us envision ourselves in different places and situations,” she says, “allowing us to grow our perspectives and dream bigger.” Janhavi Samant’s books resonate with humor, nostalgia, and the ...

Bedtime stories

As parents, we are always busy with different levels of work. Official, household chores, social communications, and many more. We have limited time to warm up our bonding. Despite my busy schedule, I managed time for Neel's (my son) bedtime.  Neel's bedtime started at 8:30-9:30pm. Before fall asleep both of us interact about numerous topics. First 10-15 minutes we discuss an imaginary world that is Hot wheel cars, Airplanes, SMART house, Space station, Dinosaurs, Dragon, Solar systems, and many more. Thereafter I started to tell some short stories that give him morale to his inquisitive mind for about 5-8 minutes. Finally, I sing lullabies cuddle over a hand. Normally I sing only one lullaby but sometimes more than two songs. Simultaneously I also massage his foot, head, and hand. I often massage the back and whole body for his ultimate relaxation. This is the precious moment of both of us or Ourtime . This may be reciprocal and I also feel ultimate relaxation....
