A Different Color

An invigilator scrutinises various drawings for the inter-school competitions in her chamber. Meanwhile a teacher from Bhuban Village School comes with some drawings to show her. But all the drawings have been found colourless and mostly charcoal and black colour paintings.
As the invigilator asks the reason behind such drawings, the teacher says that such students have come to meet her and waiting outside. Out of curiosity the lady invigilator meets them to find all of them as blind girls.
But the teacher handles the her shock intelligently to convey that these girls' lives are as colorful and spirited like any other normal person. The invigilator realises this and celebrates the colors of holi with her as a beautiful song portrays the message in the background.
