Each year during the summer break, everyone receives homework and an online competition is organized. This time, we assigned homework but decided not to conduct a competition. We wanted to observe the performance of our members. We encouraged them to sing, act, recite poems, or perform bhajans with their grandchildren, aiming to showcase their mutual bond or highlight their sweet relationship. The goal was to strengthen the love between grandparents and grandchildren. The unique affection and values imparted by grandparents to children are unmatched and cannot be learned from anyone else.
However, it seems that members from various branches struggled to comprehend the homework. They began creating and sharing videos. Only a handful of individuals from the Rohini and Pashchim Vihar branches managed to grasp it. Sadhna Arya, a 69-year-old from Rohini, sent a video featuring her 34-year-old son, Mohit Arya. Sham Sundar, a 75-year-old from Rohini, made a humorous video with his granddaughters, imitating animal sounds. The grandfather mimicked dog and cat sounds, while his granddaughters enjoyed the playful moment immensely.
By experiencing the joy of everyone involved, we can grasp the significance of this occasion. These are cherished times for a grandfather enjoying moments with his granddaughters. The granddaughters are spending time with their grandfather and gaining knowledge.
Usha Mehta, aged 69, enjoys solving puzzles with her granddaughter Ashik Mehta. Together, they are engaging their minds in this activity. Usha recalls her past puzzles while her granddaughter challenges herself to solve them. Their bond is delightful, and they are having a wonderful time together.
Mina Tiwari from Paschim Vihar, a highly engaged member, shared insights about Rudrabhishek with her grandsons Abhigyan and Ayushman during the month of Sawan. She imparted this valuable knowledge in a matter of minutes. Additionally, children who view the video will also gain understanding.
Santosh Patial, a 78-year-old from Rohini, had the deepest understanding of this topic. She sang bhajans with her granddaughter, Chhabi Patel, and their performance was remarkable. They alternated lines, creating a beautiful jugalbandi. The coordination between them was impressive. Through bhajans, the grandmother imparted values to her granddaughter, who, despite being part of the modern generation, preserved Indian traditions by singing with her grandmother.
Rohini's co-head Kamal Arora ji, who takes part in every competition and is 71 years old, is an inspiration for everyone. He is explaining the song of life to his granddaughter Aadya Arora. What a lovely time it would have been when grandfather and granddaughter would have practiced together and sung the song together.
Not only this, Harbhajan Grewal of Paschim Vihar sang a very old song which never gets old and is still new. Dadi Amma-Dadi Amma Maan Jao, but what acting they have done. Grandchildren have a different style and joy in acting with grandmother.
Recently, 92-year-old Manohar Kheda from Paschim Vihar sang a song with his granddaughter Hitika to celebrate her birthday, bringing immense joy as his entire family joined him. The point is, only a few people have grasped the essence of our competition; they are creating videos and sending them. Listen up! Take the time to read and comprehend that this topic is filled with love, messages, emotions, and inspiration.
