There was an Inter-school Sanskrit Shlokas Recitation and Dance Competition at DAV school on August 29th. While four of the participants including me from my school participated in the Sanskrit Slokas Recitation, the other three participated in ‘Sanskrit Dance Competition’. All of us had practiced hard. On the competition day, I was very excited to perform. We all came early in the morning in the school to practice and were finally ready to go. I came to school at 7 AM. On our way a traffic police officer informed us that we could not go to DAV by road because BIMSTEC conference was held between the seven countries. So we could not help taking the other route. Finally we reached DAV school. It was very big. At the entry of the competition hall, organizers put our names under our school name. The hall was very big. There were about 19 competitors. The audience was fewer than I expected. Because of the BIMSTIC conference, many students of other schools had not arrived at the competition. We waited for them for some time. There were essay writing and Sanskrit speech competitions as well. All the competitions were performed at the same time but at different halls. All the competitors were excellent. After the competition was over we went to the canteen for the lunch. One thing I liked the most about DAV school was that they only allow vegetarian food in the school. After lunch time was over, it was the time of result. They announced the result of the Shlokas recitation at last. We did not secure any position but we were happy to know that the other team from my school stood second in the dance competition. Although our team did not win, we learnt so many things and we were happy.
