On 29th August, 2018 I went to DAV Sushil Kedia Vishwa Bharati Higher Secondary Boarding School Jawalakhel, Lalitpur for the Shlok recital competition. The event was called “Janardhan-Smriti- Sanskrit” Program. We five students from grade six, two students from grade nine and two teachers went to the program. I reached the school at 7:00 AM. At school, we practiced and watched dance and helped dance members to get in their getups. Then we drank hot tea with biscuits and I was the last to finish it. The day was quite mysterious. That day, only even number plate vehicles were allowed to run by the government due to BIMSTEC conference. So, we went to DAV in a Cab. At DAV there were many character trees placed in different places. My sister who studies there was also in one of the character trees. A character tree was a tree with many photos on it with the names of the students. Only those students who have been good throughout the year are placed on the trees and they are awarded as well. We presented our performance. Then it was a lunch time. They said that 1500 students and 500 teachers in a day come and eat in the dining hall. Then we went to “Buddha Hall”- it was very big. Our teachers said we would leave by 11 AM but it got very late. We got bored for some time but when the time came for prize distribution we were little nervous. Our shlok group didn’t make it up to top four. We were sad but we didn’t blame each other. Then we came back to school at 3 PM while the program was still running as our teachers had meeting.
