First Indian Neighbours’ Day was celebrated at Priyadarshini Vihar

The First Indian Neighbours’ Day was celebrated at Priyadarshini Vihar on Sunday, 16th December 2012 with great enthusiasm and zest. 

Brief description of the celebration is stated below:

'Love thy neighbour as thyself' had been the spirit of the day on 16th December 2012 at the Priyadarshini Vihar Park as the residents came out and celebrated Neighbour's Day with great pomp and zest.

Residents of the neighboring colonies also joined in the celebrations to make it 'Neighbour's Day' in its truest sense. The park had been decked up with balloons, pamphlets and banners that marked the announcement of the event.

From senior citizens to their grandkids, everybody wholly participated and enjoyed the various activities that were graced by a bright sun and tempted everybody to the park grounds.

The day began with an enthusiastic turnout at the Talent Show in which the younger residents of Priyadarshini Vihar surprised us all with their geniuses.

Next was something to entertain the elders and Tambola took care of that. All the ladies and the men played the ticket game in good spirits and shared aplenty laughter.

Musical Chairs followed next with a separate round for senior citizens, adults and the kids. What followed was lots of fun, music and dancing apart from grabbing chairs!!

Getting tired was only legitimate after this morning full of fun and frolic and hot lunch was ready to be served.

The residents came together and enjoyed a hearty lunch in the warm glow of the sun and everyone could be spotted smiling ear-to-ear and indulging in conversations with their neighbours.

No one could get enough of the bonding and took forward the celebrations to a game of Antakshri. Men and women competed against each other in this game of songs and had a gala time singing old and new songs alike. Not only did everyone sing out loud and enjoy the music but also came together, both old and young and celebrated their existence as each other's neighbor.

Attractive prizes were awarded to the winners of the various events and chocolates were distributed amongst all.

The usual Sunday was turned into a day that each resident would fondly remember and hopefully await the next year!!

Best regards.
