The overwhelming response to the Carnival indeed marks it as one of the most awaited events on the Singapore social calendar not only for the Indian expatriate community but also for the residents of the neighbouring localities, who eagerly participated in the festivity. <p>The Carnival was inaugurated by the Chief Guest, High Commissioner, Indian High Commission, His Excellency, Mr. Alok Prasad, who lit the ceremonial lamp and commenced the proceedings. A host of dignitaries &ndash; Mr. Ravi Bangar, Deputy High Commissioner, Indian High Commission, Mr. Rajendran, First Secretary, Indian Embassy &ndash; graced the occasion and made it a memorable evening for us all. <p>Our Principal, Mrs. Rachna Pandit extended a warm welcome to all the assembled dignitaries, parents, guests and well-wishers of the institution and sincerely thanked them for their unflinching support, trust and encouragement. <p>The Chief Guest&rsquo;s address succinctly encapsulated the joyous spirit of the occasion as he extended his greetings and best wishes &ndash; &ldquo; I&rsquo;m very pleased to be able to celebrate this happy day along with all of you.

This is truly an opportunity for you as representatives of India to be a part of one of the best and grandest names of India, which is what DPS schools have become today. And, to be able to do that in such a wonderful and friendly atmosphere, as in Singapore, I think, is truly a great combination and hard to match anywhere...&rdquo; <p>The Carnival commenced with a traditional invocation of the Goddess Saraswati in a Bharatanatyam dance recital. The most celebrated art form of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Bharatanatyam is one of the oldest of the Indian classical dance forms. Our students, under the able guidance of their teachers were able to perfectly execute its intricate movements and enthralled the audience. <p>The participants of the Garba were no less proficient in their art as they evoked the festive spirit of the nine days of Navaratri celebrations, when every lane and square of Gujarat and adjoining Rajasthan reverberate and resound with the music and rhythm of Garba. <p>Of course, the evening would not seem complete without a rendition of Hindi popular music as expatriate Indians all over the world share a passion for three things &ndash; art, cricket and Bollywood. The audience loved the pulsating beats of the next dance performance that celebrated the spirit of Indian youth. <p>Finally, it was time to sway to the foot-tapping beats of the Bhangra and the young performers injected admirable vigour and energy into their act, and stole the hearts of the audience. <p>The evening however, had a lot more to offer as there were an array of competitive events ably conducted by the Master of Ceremony, Mr. Pramod Gopalan. <p>The Fancy Dress Competition for 3 to 8 year olds, in which candidates had to dress up according to the themes &ldquo;Ethnic India&rdquo; and &ldquo;My Role Model&rdquo;, drew the maximum number of participants. The youngsters certainly surprised the spectators and the judges with their confidence and flair. <p>The Drawing Competition was for the age group 9 &ndash; 12 years and participants had to choose from the two themes &ndash; &lsquo;Earth Day&rsquo; and &lsquo;Cartoon Characters&rsquo;. <p>The beaming winners and the satisfied participants etched a heartwarming scene that will be remembered by all of us for a long time to come. <p>The final competitive event was the ever-popular Antakshari that continued with unflagging enthusiasm late into the night. <p>The onstage activities were punctuated with regular announcements of the results of the lucky draws. Prizes were galore and the lucky winner of the First Prize was rewarded with Jet Airways &ndash; Singapore-India Return Air Tickets. The Second and Third Prize winners claimed Singapore-Bangkok Return Air Tickets. <p>One of the winners, Akshaiy, a student of Class 9 wrote to the newsletter, &ldquo;I won a trip to Bangkok. I was on cloud nine at the time. I am however, yet to make up my mind as to whether to go or not.&rdquo; <p>The queues before the coupon counters swelled as people continued to bolster their chances of winning by purchasing coupons, which could be redeemed at the food & beverages counters and the game stalls. <p>The crowd made the most of this rare opportunity to savour traditional Indian delicacies &ndash; chaat, golgappa, samosa, and chana bhatura among others. <p>The youngsters were jubilant as they enjoyed an evening of carefree merry making. They gamboled on the inflated play areas and thronged the game stalls &ndash; golf-putting (mangoes were given away as prizes), target shooting, aiming for the basket etc. <p>The success of the Carnival was in large measure a testimony of the collaborative effort of students and staff of DPSIS, and showcased the goodwill and support of all the parents and well wishers that buttress the school&rsquo;s pillars.
