The "Tribalman" has more fans than The "Businessman"

Today, Sid as part of the Halloween celebrations at his play school became a handsome tribal man / tribal boy rather.

We received different set of roles from school management from where we can choose a character and today is the day they should be dressed in like the role we choose.

We were not convinced with any of the roles being given in the list and finally, decided upon "Tribal man". The inspiration came for us from Sid's favorite "Chota Bheem".

Sid often performs a tribal dance from one of the episodes from the programs so, we decided on this role.

The school management guided us to "Surabhi", a drama company where there is a possibility of getting the costumes for whatever the character we choose... A couple of days before, we had been there for booking the costumes for the role. They promised to deliver the same the next day, which is yesterday.

Rupu followed up with them so they will be ready with the costumes by the time I go there from office. But they said, the costumes were not available.

We decided then to make up our own dressing for the role we had chosen. Rupu came with Sid to Nizampet in an auto, joined me for the shopping. After a while Mom & Dad joined us in Nizampet from Pragathi Nagar and we all shopped for the role... We were thinking of different get ups but right from the beginning, Rupu stuck to some getup and she was shopping keeping that in the mind. My Mom too was thinking for the same costumes as Rupu did but I was on a different ship.

There were many challenges in terms of the looks of a tribal boy. We got the solution in no time when we switched on to POGO, where one of the Chota Bheem’s episodes that featured Tribal people and Chota Bheem was being telecasted.

My mom and Rupu did some trials and finally worked hard to make up the dressing so the next day things will be okay. We worked on to build a spear out of a hallow plastic stick of Sid’s tent house. Slept by 11:30 PM last night.

We woke up by 07 AM today in the morning and Sid got ready by 09:30 AM. Dad got the quills of chicken from a local chicken center, got some electric insulation plasters of different colors so we can decorate the spear of Sid.

As we were coming out of Satyam Heights and going to school with Sid, everyone looked at Sid as he looked real tribal.

We all had been to school, felt happy seeing the kids coming in different costumes imitating different characters. My dad felt happy when we felt, Sid looked really suited and all appraised…
