Kids become street smart
Madhura K Nagendra

As part of the Children's day celebrations, Buoyancee Bounty held competitions between schools to sensitize them to the social problems. They performed street plays demonstrating the social problems. After being  judged at Buoyancee by four judges - Mallikarjuna Angadi, Sathyanarayan Rao, Shambhavi and Hemanth, the children left in a procession in open matador vans.  They went around Jayanagar shopping complex showcasing their message, which was flagged off by the chief guest Dr B D Patel, the Chairman of Youth Services - Rotary International.

The topics for the street plays included- Corruption by JSS Public School, Mobile menace by Sudarshan Vidya Mandir, Religious intolerance by Good Shepherd School, Cell Phone Syndrome by Mirambika High School, Dowry Menace by Excellent School and Caste System by Oxford English High School.

Sudarshan Vidya Mandir, the school which depicted the biggest problem of our society today, ‘Mobile menace’, was adjuged the winners. The Public Opinion Award was bagged by Little Flower English School for Corruption and Excellent School for Dowry Menace. Individual awards were separately given to students for their skill, valour and excellence.

While the single digit aged students organized the function - Arun (5) introducing the chief guest and  Rachana (7) as the presiding officer and Pavana (9) as the master of ceremonies, the teenagers from different schools were ready to spread the message of the solutions to social problems.  While Buoyancee Bounty worked on developing innate talents in the children, the children worked on presenting to the passers by, the importance of being responsible citizens.

"I felt very nice being useful to spread this vital message" said Karan from Little Flower. “Today is the most wonderful day in my life.  I learnt the importance of giving something back to the society" said Sowmya, student from Oxford High School.

"I did not understand the language as I am from Kolkotta, however, the street plays presented by the children were eye openers" said Chatterjee an IT engineer, at The Forum where three schools performed.  "Mind blowing - better than watching the two new movies which have so much of hype.  The kids should perform these short yet meaningful street plays all over Bangalore" said Jyoti, one of the spectators at Banashankari shopping complex.
