Come, play along!

The elders of Vasant Housing Society, were in a fix. It’s was two weeks since the summer vacations began, and all that they could hear was silence in their compound. True, the kids were forced to studying during the school days, but it was the vacations the elders wished they played.

The victim in the form of modern gadgets was found. This kept the elders thinking, and they came up with a plan of organizing traditional Indian outdoor games for the young and old. *Kho-Kho,**Gilli Danda, ***Lagori, ****Dog and the bone were among the main events of the D-day.
