On September 10, an electrifying Drama Competition within Kolkata District was held at BITM, themed on science. Six schools from all over Kolkata including H.P.M.I enthusiastically participated to stage their theatrical talents. Our team comprising Suprit Ghosh, Shreyas Mondal, Sohini Nath, Ayushi Mondal, Aranya Sen, Poulami Das, Swapnil Dutta Banik, and myself Ranisha Mitra set off for the destination from the school along with SD Sir and DS Sir at 9:00 am sharp. On reaching BITM, we got ourselves ready with make ups and entered the big hall with lining chairs on the two sides. Within an hour, the competition commenced after a lottery. The schools including ours showed cent percent of their ability and hard work to make the best out of practice. We, being numbered 4 displayed our drama ‘Bish Bishwayan’ with a buoyant spirit. In the next phase, we had a great lunchtime, after which the highly awaited moment finally arrived. With rapid beatings of our heart we sat down to listen to the result. It came to an end with New Town School, emerging as the champion, followed by H.P.M.I, grabbing the Second place! Also it was a moment of utter joy when D.S Sir was awarded the ‘Best Script Writer Award’. The students hope to bag many more such achievements in the subsequent years……
