This time, Aug 15th 2009 was one of its kind for those who witnessed the “Lightening Spirits “ event at Pudur community.. Usually we celebrate either at home or with friends or quietly enjoy the holiday. But this time, Swarg community, friends, wellwishers and people belonging to the community experienced what is called the true spirit of Independence day. Though we didn’t go there to preach anything but through our activities and arrangements, we hope to have created a fresh air of Liberation . Our acts, deeds, competitions were such that people came out to know the world around and participate in the specially organized activities like Rangoli, pot breaking, skit and dance.
Swarg members assembled at 9:30 am sharp before which the nature had its beautiful setting of weather and it let the rangoli participants kickstart their campaign. Special judges were invited who evaluated based on certain criteria. It ended at 10 o clock. After which the most anticipated event of the day” pot (path) breaking” started… Though initially, people in the community were very reluctant, later on our Swarg member K.S. Saravana kumar showed the way for everyone by hitting the pot with water splashing all around. Quite a magnificient scene it was!!!!… The arrangements made by our co – ordinator Mr. Karthick was spot on as there was no lag during the event.
Special "vande mataram" rendition by Swargian Ms.Chitra(CTS) gathered a lot of attention. The arena came to a stand still to witness such a beautiful voice. Afterwhich, special skit and dance performances were performed by children of our tuition center. A week of practice, dedication to perform before swarg members, to prove a point to the world, they graced the event with a top notch performance. Only drawback was the lack of space but next time, we hope to rectify it by alternate arrangements.
We intended to create awareness about our community center in that area, and from the feedback we got, I should say that we succeeded in that attempt. Almost 30 women had enrolled their names for Tailoring sessions and it kickstarted from yesterday(Wednesday 19/8/09). The total attendance for aug 15th celebration alone touched 50 apart from onlookers.
Thanks everyone especially Mr kartick(Project co-ordinator) for entire management, Mr varadan, teacher of our community center, Swarg Members ( as always, your presence ,despite very few days that you all get to spend your time at home) ,friends and wellwishers for making this event a grand success.
Keep your heads high and march towards glory.
