Exams are over and just before the summer vacation starts it’s celebration time…
Most schools in Kerala (a South Indian state) hold their annual day celebrations in the last couple of days of March.
I was at my son’s school yesterday for the annual day celebrations and saw this cute little girl in an Oppana (a traditional dance form performed by the Muslim community) costume right after her stage performance.
Her family was happily taking a selfie with her, and her little brother was curious too.
Kerala is a small state in the southwest corner of the Indian landmass with a very interesting demography. A considerable percentage of Hindus, Muslims, and Christians live in harmony and celebrate all major festivals together.
As my kids celebrate their summer vacation, I am about to start my trekking trip to the Himalayas. See you all in a while! 🙂
