Dharma Bee Regionals

Today I am so proud of Avi for winning the regional level Dharma Bee in his age group (a national competition to honor and celebrate Swami Vivekananda's 150th birth anniversary). Both Avi and Neev participated at city level. Avi won and went on to represent North Carolina at regional level today and came in the first place. Now he will be representing Southern States including NC, SC etc. at national level in Chicago. He will get to visit all the prominent landmarks associated with Parliament of world religions including a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago where Swami Vivekananda gave his famous speech. Avi had tough tie breaker rounds for first place. Of all the age groups, this group's performance was most fantastic. All the children had prepared so well and it was evident from the close score. In the end it was Avi against Niveditha. I think there were around 9 tie breaker questions and the audience thoroughly enjoyed the fire round.
It was a great experience and I am happy for my baby ! Congratulations Beta !!
