Total surrender by Ravan on being hit by Ram ji arrow, straight to his belly button. Kids were seemingly happy too but not really so. They were so enamoured of the huge Ravan they had made so diligently being burnt away to nothing in no time.

Kids learn to let go. right from making the Ravan, stuffing him with hand made newspaper balls, making his attire, decorating him, painting his ten heads, armour, shield and swords and seeing him stand in full glory they accepted the need for his dahan. negative deeds invite such action. Ravan lost his life at the hands of ram.

Impromptu performance of Ram Leela after listening to and understanding the story, episodes and sequence repeatedly because they wanted to hear it again and again and were therefore able to perform without any problem. Any child could perform any role you asked them to. The fun was in their imbibing at this tender age that there are different kinds of people, with particular characteristics, behaviour, expectations, solutions. Over and above that, being able to accept, even play the role of the best and the most devious of them. It was great fun for the children , the parents and us teachers too.

Children get a preview of the days ahead. Now even if they cannot be taken to crowded places to participate in the Garba or dandiya, Ram Leela or Ravan Dahan because of the crowds, the infections and late nights, never mind. They've already had a taste of it all, they know all about it .
