I went to India Habitat Centre on Sunday with Adesh. It had been pretty long since we tasted Eatopia goodies and also wanted to check out a play by Vir Das, that was on. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the tickets for the play, but fortunately we witnessed the Annual Day of Manzil. We stumbled on it just by chance, actually more out of curiousity. While getting out of Eatopia we saw young guys and girls decorating the stage in the amphitheatre and it had a huge kite in the backdrop. That caught our attention. We waited for the event to start and eventually learnt about Manzil. Manzil is an informal school or learning centre, started by Ravi Gulati.
The function had children of all ages performing. And it was overwhelming to see the families of these children cheering them.
There was a short play, a band performance, solo songs and a performance by toddlers. There were 10 year old boys and girls dancing to the tunes of popular numbers, teenagers rocking the stage, and these can give reality dance show participants a run for their money!
By the time it ended, we were very much impressed, not just by the show put up, but also by the overall initiative of Ravi Gulati- Manzil.
