Mummy can I join Hindi club at school ?
asked Esther last week. I said go ahead
and join, she then said she needs 20/- for membership fee and okayed that too. Then
last Friday after school she told me that she has to get the Lyrics of ‘Jai Ho’
song (Slum dog millionaire) for the Hindi club inaugural ceremony (on coming
Wednesday) their teacher has told them to learn the song. Hmmm Jai Ho … I told
her I will get the lyrics and download the song , but I also added that it’s
not a song which you can sing just like that , it would need lot of practice
…. I got the lyrics and Anil downloaded the song and then Esther
heard ….. She realized that it was definitely a difficult song to learn in couple
of hours ….
And then I commented ‘Our time, we had so
many standard songs for inaugural functions – we would have sung the songs many
times at different programs but nobody would get bored of these songs , and we
were never ever allowed to sing Film songs ‘ . Anil and I then started giving
her the list of songs ‘Ath Swagatam shubh swagatam’ , ‘Vande matarm’ , ‘Janani
Janambhumishcha’ , ‘Hind Desh ke Niwaasi’, ‘Janani Janam bhoomi swarg se mahan
hai’ ‘Jai jai hai bhagwati shubh bharti’ ‘woh din hai kitna dur’ and searched
in Youtube and showed her …. She was impressed and said “you all were so lucky to know all these
lovely songs !” . I told her to suggest this to their hindi and music teacher
who could teach them ….
Yes we were lucky to have learnt and sang
all those songs so proudly so many time
..
