On the occasion of Children's Day, GPlus went out asking out-of-school students about their favourite memories of this special day. It turned into a warm and nostalgic experience, filled with laughter and personal stories that showed what Children's Day means to them.

When we hear the words Children’s Day, the very first thing that comes to mind is the golden, carefree days of our school years. Thinking about it now makes me miss my school even more deeply. I can still vividly remember how our teachers would dress up with so much enthusiasm and prepare special performances just to make us smile. The entire day would be filled with excitement, laughter, and a sense of celebration that felt magical to us as children. It would all end with the much-awaited distribution of prizes and gifts. Now that I am in college, the pressure and stress we deal with every day make me long for those carefree school moments even more. Those precious days remain some of the most unforgettable and cherished memories of my childhood.

When I think about Children’s Day, the first thing that comes to mind is the way my school used to celebrate it. The memories are still so vivid. Our teachers would dress up as various Bollywood characters, creating an atmosphere that was both lively and unforgettable. I absolutely loved those moments, especially because even the strictest teachers, the ones we rarely saw smile, would fully embrace their roles and appear in the most unexpected costumes. It was both surprising and heart-warming to see them in such a different light. The character that stands out most clearly in my memory is Samba from Sholay, a portrayal that still makes me smile whenever I think about it.

In my school, Children’s Day was always a wonderfully memorable occasion. We would gather together to watch movies, creating an atmosphere filled with laughter and excitement. I remember having an incredible amount of fun with my friends as we sat side by side, enjoying every moment. We shared chocolates, chips, and all kinds of treats, and on that special day, no one could stop us from indulging in our favourite junk food. Even our teachers joined in the celebration by distributing gifts and chocolates, making the day feel even more festive. Children’s Day in school was not just enjoyable, but it was truly unforgettable

I still remember a moment from when I was in class 4 or 5, a memory that has stayed with me even after so many years. We were taken to the senior classes in our school and given the chance to step into the role of a teacher for a little while. I was encouraged to share a story with the older students, and that day became my very first storytelling experience. I was appreciated warmly, and the encouragement I received made me feel proud and confident. Afterward, we were served lunch which added to the joy of the occasion. I still treasure that day and I truly miss those simple, meaningful moments from my childhood.

“One of my fondest memories of Children’s Day goes back to my time studying at SFS, when our teachers surprised us with their incredible dance performances and entertaining acts. Watching them step out of their usual roles and perform with so much enthusiasm felt truly special. The energy, the laughter and the genuine joy we felt that day made the celebration unforgettable. It wasn’t just about the performances themselves but about seeing our teachers put in so much effort just to make us happy. Those moments created a warm, lasting impression on my heart and they remain some of the best Children’s Day memories I cherish even now.”

“Most people might remember Children’s Day as a time filled with colourful celebrations in school but for me, the true joy of Children’s Day was found in my tuition classes. Those moments remain some of my fondest memories. I can still picture my tuition teacher warmly handing out small gifts to each of us, making the day feel special and personal. As the evening went on, we would gather together, laughing at the jokes our sir cracked and listening to the childhood stories he shared. Since my school never organised Children’s Day celebrations, all the happiness and excitement I experienced on this occasion came entirely from my time in tuition, making it even more meaningful to me.”
