The class took the topic on Bonalu, a Dravidian traditional Hindu festival centred on the Goddess Mahakali. This festival is celebrated annually in Telangana during July and August. Special poojas are performed as thanksgiving to the Goddess for the fulfilment of her vows. The people feast heartily and pray to the Goddess to protect their loved ones from all misfortunes and bless them with good health. This idea was presented by the students to highlight the importance of gratitude and to encourage all to inculcate this core value into their everyday life.A soulful prayer was sung by Keerthana accompanied by Divit on piano. This was followed by thought for the day by Shireen Sengupta and a very mesmerising poem by Tishan Choudhary.The Presentation concluded with an emphatic speech by srinithya. The thought left a lot to delve into as it said that we should be thankful for what one has and reflect upon our blessings,of which every man has plenty; not on our misfortunes, of which all men have some.
