There were postcard events along with snakes and ladders, so the kids were pretty excited. My kids, they didn’t want to go back home. On Sunday, kids get a free day, they are otherwise sleeping at home or watching something, so it is good to see them out playingDiganta Bhattacharya & daughter Mandana | from HoramavuThis event is amazing, my daughter loves attending this. A few years back, I attended an edition in Malleswaram. I stay in Horamavu. Kids enjoy these kinds of open spaces a lot. My daughter is passionate about art and here, she really liked the tattoo counterShashi Tarika | from Bhartiya CityThe weather was nice early in the morning and it all looked very beautiful, we enjoyed it. I liked watching them dance. Everyone was here, all kinds of people. Senior citizens like me can sit near the mall and spend time as most people live alone. I also liked that they were providing complimentary tea and cookies to everyone
