Manav Sthali Global school, Double Storey, New Rajendra Nagar, New Delhi organized their Annual Cultural show at Talkatora Indoor Stadium on 30^th November 2019. The major item and the theme of the show was beautifully presented in the form of a colorful Dance Drama ‘Spectrum’- The Shades of Life. The concept of celebrating life at all stages, in spite of all the trials and tribulations one faces during one’s lifetime, was conveyed in four chapters, i.e., Childhood, Teenage, Adulthood and Old age (Age of Wisdom).

The show started with an inaugural dance- Namami Ganapati in semi classical form, followed by a Welcome song leading to the main event ‘Spectrum’ in all its splendor, showcasing dance, music, theatre, interspersed with Yoga, Zumba and Martial Arts like Taekwondo and Military training.

The two main protagonists of the Dance Drama conveyed that life has abundance of each colour, may it be joys or sorrows, failures or successes – in brief – every shade of existence. But life is indeed majestic because our very existence is a blessing and it needs to be lived happily to the fullest even during one’s sunset years, as age is just a number. Everyone should celebrate life while fulfilling one’s duty towards the family and the society, because like wise people say life isn’t about how you survived the storm, it’s about how you danced in the storm.

The Chief Guest for the programme Mrs. Swati Singh, wife of Shri Parvesh Sahib Singh, Member of Parliament, BJP, addressed the huge gathering by rightly advising the parents to allow their children to engage in something they love doing rather than pressurizing them to do what they do not like doing without putting their heart and soul into it. This will make them strong, happy and well-developed persons who will be able to give their best to the society and the country. Mr. Anurag Bhatnagar, Chairman of the School and Mrs. Rashmi Malik, from SPIC MACAY, graced the occasion with their benign presence and motivated the children.
