arranging.

represent lifes struggles as we build up and try to stay put__.

Message Pallavi/Asha/Narasimha/Chengappa to Register yourselves, parents and children to participate in these games

*****************************************************************************

Gilli Dandu / Kitti pul / Kuttiyum kolum



Another team game played across many countries in numerous ways with origins over 2500 years.

Objective of the game is to hit the gilli with dandu. You score a point for a hit. The opposing players try to catch it. However, this can be dangerous as the Gilli has sharp edges. In the game we do doubling, tripling and get the longest distance. The opposing players try to hit the dandu(bat) once the Gilli has landed (run-out in cricket).

Point to Ponder : Is this how cricket and baseball evolved?

Message Pallavi/Asha/Narasimha/Chengappa to Register yourselves, parents and children to participate

Tower of Brahma - Only 2 rules, shift the tower with 7 rings,
using 2 empty pegs, 1 ring at a time and always keep small ring on

optimal moves.

This game is believed to be played by Priests in Poori Jaganath temple
using 64 golden discs. Runout has it, than when they finish moving the tower the world would will
end. But, not to fear it takes a millennium to move 64 discs. 7 discs takes 127 moves if done optimally
