Bishesh’s birthday

While we were boxing the little kids came. Bishesh was wearing a daura surwal: it was his birthday. We set up the decorations and games for the birthday party. I was assigned to list the games for us to play and help Palistha ma’am cut paper for the cards. A big sheet of paper was for Babita and Smriti who were in-charge of making the birthday poster. 

In total, we had 10 games to play. Pallav sir, Vidheha, and Kalpana maám brought candles, lots of balloons, cakes for the birthday and we decorated the room. All the little kids came in and they were very cute and very happy.

Bishesh had been looking forward to the party for a week. He was 4 today. I was asked to start the games so I explained the rules. I was in charge of the music which was a lot of fun! We started with the hot potato game where we passed a balloon around and the kids won candy.

While playing the game, I had to make sure every child won something. If they had the balloons when the music ended they would win and everyone was laughing and had a lot of fun. Then we played musical chairs was a lot of fun. Then Pallav sir brought out the cake and prawns chips and juice and popcorn and candies for us to eat and enjoy.

After we played the games we had to say something good about Bishesh. Everyone said Bishesh was great to be around, he was kind and helpful and much more. Then I and Vidheha played the happy birthday song on the flute while everyone else sang. Amulya who is three really wanted it to be his birthday and he cried so we also played and sang the happy birthday song for him and he was very happy! 

We all sang out “He’s a jolly good fellow” and since the van was here, we had to leave. A great party for us all and a good birthday to Bishesh who was very shy and very happy!
