Hindi Hasya Kavi Sammelan

Humour is a very essential part of our life – it can be in any language. This fact became evident when Orchids organized its first ever ‘Hindi hasya kavi sammelan’ on 7/9/14. Thirteen students from Classes VI – X who have opted for Hindi as their II language, were selected to present a variety of anecdotes  that kept the other students of Classes III – X in splits.   All the speakers showed a lot of confidence and enthusiasm and were eloquent in their expression. However, since it was an Inter-House competition,   Farhanalluh Farooqui and Shuchita Gupta of Class X won the first prize. The second prize was bagged by Kethan Jainof Class VII. Khadija Khan won the third prize.
