As a kid, Children’s Day was one of my favourite celebrations. I remember dressing up like my favourite teacher, not having any classes at school, receiving goodies, and going on fun day-trips with my classmates! But did you know that Children’s Day is celebrated on November 14 every year as an ode to our first Prime Minister, Jawahar Lal Nehru, whose birthday fell on the same day? Nehru was also fondly known as ‘chacha Nehru’ among kids, due to his affection and affinity towards children.
I always felt very special when someone wished me ‘Happy Children’s Day’ every year. Want to make the kids in your life feel the same?
