23 April is celebrated as the World Book Day and students found a special way to reminisce the characters of storybooks. Seth Anandram Jaipuria School (SAJS), Lucknow, organised an event to celebrate the authors, books, characters, and reading, in addition to various fun activities.
The event started with a parade of storybook characters where students were dressed up as their favourite literary characters and authors. There was tremendous applause from the audience when they saw characters like Akbar-Birbal, Sherlock Holmes, Matilda, Tenali Rama, Chandrakanta, Portia, speaking about their characters. There were authors like Ved Vyas, Robin Sharma, Vivekanand, Enid Blyton etc. It was followed by a skit titled — ‘The Crazy Story’ where the narrator of Red Riding Hood had a difficult time explaining to Snowhite, Spiderman, the Three Little Pigs and Cinderella’s Prince, that they were in the wrong story.
The chief guest for the occasion was Pooja Agarwal, Pro-Chancellor of Shri Ramswaroop University. Speaking on the occasion, Pooja Agarwal said, “Reading is an investment, which has great returns and books are our true friends. The magic of books has been there since time immemorial. Students must be encouraged to read as much as they can which will add magic to their lives.”
