    Looking at the way the function was conducted, it looks like it was a inter class sports, to open a ordinary tea shop in udupi well known personalities are called and this is a rare occasion for the entire district the School should make a grand function so other children will also will get encouragement, but this function looks very disappointing, anyway congratulations NELIMA, you have made everyone proud, no one can snatch that from you, God bless you, and pray that you shine brighter and higher in every field you move on. Cheers
