Dance school Nrityanchal has introduced a monthly Pathchakra for the students recently. Eminent personalities will come to the school and give their speeches for the students so that the little children will be able to gather knowledge about various subjects other than dance. The inauguration of this Pathchakra was held at the school and eminent artist and famous puppet --- Mustafa Monwar gave the inaugural speech on the art of dance.

The children welcomed the guests with the song E Din Aji Kon Gharey Go Khuley Dilo Dar and they were waving their hands with colourful scarves.

Chief guest of the programme Mansur Musa, the Director General of Bangla Academy, said in his speech, 'There is a rhythm in human beings. The nature has a rhythm too. Rhythm is all around the world. If I can't cope with this rhythm I am (rhythmless). To submit oneself to this rhythm is dance. When I was young I wanted to dance and sing but our parents were not so advanced like today's parents. They feared our studies would be hampered for these extra curricular activities. That's why I still wish to become small again to fulfill my desires.'

Special guest artist Mustafa Monwar lighted the candles to formally inaugurate the Pathchakra and gave the inaugural speech, 'Rabindranath Tagore said there are two types of books children has to read one is readable and other is non-readable. What the school committee decides to be read in the school are non-readable and the other books like fairytales are readable. It's a great relief that Tagore didn't study in the schools if he did he may become a service holder and can't be a great poet.'

He gave his speech on the art of dance and asked the children whether they feel joy to dance, all the children raise their hands and said yes they feel joy to dance. He also taught them that the most important rule of drawing picture is there is no specific rules at all. The children enjoyed the speech.

Among others the directors of the school Shamim Ara Neepa and Shibli Mohammad, and media personality Mohammad Jahangir also spoke at the occasion.
