DHIE: Hi Padmaraj! As the exam season winds down in a few days, how are you feeling today?Padmaraj: Hello, DHIE! It’s always a pleasure. I’m feeling quite relieved as the exams come to a close. There’s a lighter, more joyful air around as students anticipate the Dussehra holidays. DHIE: With exams nearly over, what does this mean for you?Padmaraj: Well, it’s a bit of a holiday for me too! I get to take a break from the rigorous exam support and look forward to more creative uses. DHIE: Speaking of creativity, what are some fun activities students can do with you during the holidays?Padmaraj: The Dussehra break is a perfect time for students to explore their artistic side. Instead of the usual subjects, they can use me for drawing, sketching, or creating colourful collages. It’s a fantastic way to relax and express themselves artistically. DHIE: That sounds like a lot of fun! Do you have any particular memories from past holiday seasons that stand out?Padmaraj: Absolutely! Last year, a group of students used me to create a giant mural of festive scenes and characters. It was not only a creative outlet but also a great way for them to bond and make lasting memories. DHIE: With the festive season upon us, any advice for students on how to make the most of their time?Padmaraj: Definitely. Enjoy the break and the festivities, but also take some time to reflect and explore new interests. Whether it’s reading a new book, starting a sketch, or just doodling, use this time to do something different that energizes you for the next term. DHIE: Thank you, Padmaraj, for such a delightful chat. Keep up the fantastic work supporting our future geniuses!Padmaraj: Thank you, DHIE! Wishing all the students a wonderful and creative Dussehra holiday. I’m here whenever you need a steady base for your next artistic project!
