8220;Dil Hai Chhota Sa, Chhoti Si Aasha8221;,is the unswerving endeavour of Miteeh which organized a children8217;s festival at Nehru Memorial Hall, from January 7 to 9.

20 schools including 1500 students participated. The events included dancing, singing,instrumental music, essay competition, quiz, arts and crafts exhibition and a band competition. Sanghavi KM High school bagged the prize for the best school. The men behind this are Gopal Krishan who is an engineer, a journalist, and film maker all rolled in one and Mr Divekar a professional photographer. Says Mr Krishan,quot;The novel thing is there are no chief guests. No outsiders to come for garlands. The teachers who have taken the efforts will do the prize distribution .8221; Also the events are in three languages Hindi, English and Marathi.

Says an enthusiastic Mr Krishan,quot;For the millenium I plan a bigger event with more than 15000 studentsquot;.

Miteeh is a Sanskrit word meaning determination .8220;This is my mission in life. At the fag end of my life , I want to contribute to the society through this endeavour,8221; says Mr Krishan as he looks at the young happy faces.

Christmas has gone but the real Santa has come with lots of goodies for the kids!
