Street play- In Search of Happiness

Street play on 'In Search of Happiness' 

Happiness is that feeling that comes over you when you know life is good and you can't help but smile. Happiness is a sense of well-being, joy, or contentment. When people are successful, or safe, or lucky, they feel happiness. Different people feel happiness for different reasons. No one ever complains about feeling too much happiness. But they do when not in a state of well being. Today's Generation is so busy in the virtual reality forgetting about the present. Harsh but true- people have time to post on face book , have time to update status on what's app  and currently they are present on all social networking sites, but if you ask them to give time to family..No time they are extremely "busy". 

So, to show the current scenario of the world, Student leaders of PYP presented a street play on 'In Search of Happiness' wherein they portrayed the different unhappy situations that people experience and the different ways in which these situations can be avoided, by Spreading  Happiness. 

PRACTISE SESSION 

Indian culture, is one of the most beautiful  and cherished in the world.  Our empathy and other wonderful aspects are imbibed and learnt all over the world.
The street play which the students performed,  brought out all the above amply through three scenes which gave a glimpse of how today happiness is slowly reducing and creeping in is loneliness, depression, intolerance, bullying, selfishness and all this leading to stress. The students did an outstanding performance and garnered much appreciation and applause.
The bottom line was 'We in India are Ambassadors of Happiness'. Let us, every moment spread happiness and make our country number one in Happiness.
