This is one of the most touching Memory from my school days in Progressive Education.
My class mate Shivani Sailana was hosting her birthday party at her home when we were in 6th Grade. My grandfather was very sick and was on last stage of cancer. He was very thin, sick, Hairline receding and was starting to lose memory.
I decided if I could win any of the prizes in the game at the party, I would gift it to my Grand father. I informed the boys about my plan. My friends Devashish and Mayur decided that they would help me and would make sure I win. They told all the boys to help me out and everyone agreed. Somehow the game was a game of tagging and person who gets maximum tags win the game.
You had to tag people with :
who is your best friend
who is best dancer etc.
Boys started tagging me with all the notes while girls started game bit fair (tagging only thier closest friends) but realized the game was getting lopsided with me getting all the tags. So they had a decision who they will tag in change. Host realized the game wasn't fun anymore and called the game quits.
I won the game by fair margin and was awarded with Flashy lighted keychain. It looked pretty and something my grand father can use for his car. My grand father really loved the keychain. Turns out it was one of the last 3 gifts I gave him. He passed away a month later.
I do not remember if I thanked anyone back then or not but I do owe it to everyone
