With a wonderful event planned and publicized, all of us were now looking forward to the actual event – the Diwali Carnival! This was the first year that we conducted the Diwali Carnival (the idea actually came up while the core team members were discussing on having a Diwali Party – but, in the true “Millennium ishtyle”, we gave it a complete twist, and made it into a carnival! Lots of grand plans were put on the table, which had to be moderated – so there is *much* more to come in the next few years!).We decided to have competitions for Fort making and Lantern making or Rangoli making. We decided to provide children with the basics for all the competitions – rocks and mud for the forts, glue and colour paper for the lanterns, and powder for the Rangolis. Children could get more stuff from home if they wanted to.

Well – we had the Diwali Carnival date fixed and we had also decided that the students should have a blast of a time. So, all we had to do was plan the details. Now how could we decide what to do so the students would really enjoy it? We decided to just let the students do it! Needless to say, our students agreed to take it up! And they sat down with the teachers, made committees and planned and made schedules. Then, what? They all decided to throw open the display to the public – let all Punekars come and take a look at the killas, the rangolis and the lanterns, and the beautiful campus at night with all the decorations.
