City’s amusement park Krazy Castle was the fun destination for The Hitavada Twinkle Club members on Sunday. For, it was the venue of ‘Circus Carnival’ organised by The Hitavada Twinkle Club.
Fun rides, tattoo, attractive games, music, magic show, and a lot of fun was on the platter and each one of the Twinkle Club members enjoyed each one of the offerings thoroughly. Various rides like Carousel, Cart Train, Cartoon Train, Sun-n-Moon, Caterpillar, Skycopter, Columbus, Bull Ride, Ocean Bumper, Crazy Swinger, Rocking Helicopter etc attracted the kids and their joyous shrieks filled the atmosphere. It goes without saying that the parents, who accompanied the kids, also enjoyed watching their lovely angels soak in laughter.
Magic Show presented by a young magician astonished all viewers on the other side of the stage. There was no age bar for participation in competitions conducted by the anchors for Twinkle Club members. Ansh, a mimic artist, also received lot of appreciation on his jokes from the audience.
The foot-tapping numbers on the dance floor added further value to the mood of all present there. With the latest popular Bollywood songs played by DJ, children danced wherever they were. Soon, they got attracted to the dance floor and demonstrated how beautiful spontaneous dance steps could be. Kids rocked the stage on various movie songs along with their friends. In fact, many even made new friends on the dance floor.
Neha and Lucky Khan, who anchored the show, also hosted various instant games like singing, solo dance, non-stop talk, and much more. Non-stop talk evoked laughter from the audience. But, each event also had some more to offer -- prizes. The winners bagged attractive gifts and prizes.
In various games, the participants included their parents too, which made it more competitive. It was wonderful to see the chemistry of kids and their parents, and the tasks they performed with superb co-ordination that was a result of a natural bonding. Though there were games, everybody won. Everybody won the trophy of love and sweet memories of spending quality time with each other. Of course, many parents and kids thanked 'The Hitavada' Twinkle Club for providing them the opportunity to make their Sunday special.
After dance, song, fun rides, games and a whole lot of fun, the little 'Twinkle Stars' naturally moved towards delicious food. Having food with parents is sheer joy for children in today's world when routine does not permit such opportunities daily to many. And, this aspect made food a fun-filled affair. Wada Pav, sandwiches, South Indian food, ice cream, soft drinks etc offered by Haldiram's at various stalls, found too many takers. After the food, again, the energetic crowd of children wanted another round of games. A special Game Zone was there in which Throw Game, Tattoo, and Ring Game entertained children.
Thousands of Twinkle Club members collected their share of happiness at the 'Circus Carnival' along with their parents. Also, they carried home the memories to be cherished for a long time.

What a sight it was to see parents accompanying children standing patiently in the long queue, seeking membership of ‘The Hitavada’ Twinkle Club, the largest children’s club of the country. Their enthusiasm can be gauged from the fact that six children were in the queue before midnight on Saturday itself. All roads in the city were leading to the venue of Twinkle Club membership drive on Sunday. And, the result was -- a record-breaking 30,000 kids getting enrolled as members of the Twinkle Club, which is celebrating its silver jubilee.


Hordes of people on two-wheelers and in four-wheelers arrived at Gorakshan Sabha from all directions of the city and quickly joined the queue that started after Saturday midnight itself. It took no time for the line to zigzag its way upto Kalimata Mandir and by afternoon it got extended up to lanes of Dhantoli with more people joining in.

 


People were seen filling up membership forms on the seats of two-wheelers and rushing to be in the queue. The roads around Gorakshan Sabha remained crowded till supplies of gift packets were exhausted at 7 pm, well past the scheduled deadline of
6 pm.

 


The kids were all enthusiastic about the membership, and they came with their flock of friends to get cards with numbers in a sequence. Those who got in the compound of Gorakshan Sabha cheered with joy. As the queue moved ahead, and they collected loads of gifts and ‘The Hitavada’ Twinkle Club ‘goody bag’, their smiles turned into bright laughters. The kids cherishing delicious ice-cream from Dinshaw’s was a sight to behold, as it was nothing but pure joy.

Chhota Bheem, and monkey, and also danced with them on foot-tapping numbers being played at the venue. O P Singh Academy’s anchor Treza Michael also struck a lively chord with the kids and their parents as well with quiz, song, and dance activities.

The cousins -- Ketan, Abir, and Tejas Meshram -- also enjoyed the membership drive. Ketan said that it was their fourth time when they were getting enrolled as members of the biggest children’s club in the country. “The programmes conducted by Twinkle Club are the biggest attraction for club members. Every year, we participates in summer camp,” said Abir. Loads of gifts and ice-cream are the most attractive part, added Tejas with a grin.

 


Tanuj Verma, a Std VII student of Modern School said that he became member of Twinkle Club for the first time this year. “The huge crowd and gifts are a surprise and indicator of popularity of the club,” he said. He became a member as one of his friends told him about Twinkle Club membership. Enjoying the lively atmosphere, he said that he would become member next year also, and participate in all the activities to be held throughout this year.

Special thanks to Police Department

 

 

A huge responsibility was shouldered on the staff of Dhantoli Police Station and that of Traffic Control Branch (South), on Sunday to ensure smooth conduct of the membership drive of ‘The Hitavada’ Twinkle Club. Since early morning, Traffic Police were on duty and guided the early birds to properly park their vehicles and avoid congestion.


Thereafter, as crowd began to swell, the staff of Dhantoli Police Station took over the management and aided the staff of ‘The Hitavada’ and its security wing in streamlining the process of people’s movement. As it was an overwhelming turnout, without the effective management on part of City Police, the drive would not have achieved the stupendous success.

 


Police Inspector of Dhantoli Police Station Girish Tathod, Assistant Police Inspector (Traffic) Ganesh Gurav, Sub-Inspector Omprakash Bhalavi along with staff of the police station, Traffic Control Branch (South) maintained a strict vigil at the venue, Gorakshan Sabha, throughout the day.

 


Special mention has to be made of Commissioner of Police K K Pathak, who directed Dhantoli Police Station to beef up bandobast after his visit and appreciated the work being done by ‘The Hitavada’.
