The sun was at its peak and the mercury was inching towards 47 degrees C. A minute in the afternoon sun and the sweat glands were working overtime. In short the weather was hot and sultry. Yet, the three hundred children who had gathered in the premises of Gorakshan Sabha Gruh were smiling. It’s because they were extremely happy to be part of the second Personality Development Camp organized by The Hitavada in association with Bhonsala Adventure and Sports Foundation. As the children lined up to board the buses, the venue reverberated with their cheers, laughter and seeing the bonhomie of many who had met each other for the first time, it brought a smile of relief to many a parents’ faces who were clearly anxious to see their children off for the ten day camp. Pramod Batra whose eleven-year-old son is part of this camp appreciated the efforts of The Hitvada and BASF in organizing the camp year after year. “I am of the firm opinion that children must experience a ‘camp’ of this kind during their growing up years. They are out of their protected and pampered environs and learn to become responsible and become bold to confront the challenges that they might face.” Rutul Danikar, a class IX student of Narayan Vidyalaya is going to the camp because his mother who was a NCC cadet feels that this is going to hone his leadership skills. “My son is a wonderful orator and from what I have heard about this PDC, it is surely going to help him in many ways,” she says. The ten-day camp introduces the children to the military style regime from day one. They learn discipline, they learn to obey, they learn to work in a team and learn to assume responsibility and their leadership qualities blossom. The physical development is taken care of by the many physical activities that the children undertake including rock climbing, horse riding, rappelling, river rafting, river crossing, night navigation, swimming. They are also taught disaster management and how to help if a calamity strikes. The mental stimulation comes from contests, guest lectures, treasure hunts, quizzes and workshops. At the end of the ten-day camp, a mega show is organized wherein participants showcase whatever they have learnt in front of invited audience and parents. Rajendra Purohit Managing Partner The Hitavada, Shailesh Joglekar Secretary Bhonsala Military School, Tarun Patel Director of Bhonsala Military Schhol, Air Cdr Retd DD Mandpe Commandant of the Bhonsala Military School and Samir Wankhede, Advertising Manager The Hitavada were present at the venue to see the participants off.

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.
