very hard to achieve good results. There were lots of rehearsals. And then
came the day of the competition. I was very nervous. I sat down between
Dhar ma’am and Suresh sir and they both played for me. When I finished
singing, I thought that everyone had sung better than me. But when the
result came, I was surprised to know that I had come first.

hen my daughter came and told me that she would be taking
part in the final round of the music competition there was
a wave of happiness that spread like fire through the whole
Whouse. Everyone was excited and wanted to help her in the
preparation for the competition. From that day onwards, the preparation
began and Vidhi put her heart and soul into it. The night before the
contest, I told her that the competition would be tough and what truly
mattered was not the prize but the participation and satisfaction of doing
one’s best. The next day, as the competition proceeded it seemed like
everyone had sung so beautifully that if I would have been given the duty
to make a decision, I would have failed in doing so. Vidhi too gave her
best but predicting anything seemed impossible. Then, finally the prize
distribution ceremony began and all prizes besides the 1st prize were called
out. My heart skipped a beat when the first place winner’s name was
called out and it turned out to be: Vidhi Sinha, P5 F. Oh! What joy it was
to see her running to the stage, smiling, and receive the reward of her hard
work. It was truly a fabulous and enjoyable day.
