Special menu, surprise gifts, treats in store for dads!
At-home treats are also in the offing as a few plan to cook dad's favourite meal and treat him to a simple home-cooked menu. 'My father likes brinjal gravy that I occasionally cook at home. Planning to make it for him,' shares P Gayathri, a Class XII student, on the eve of Father's Day.
As schools remain closed on Sunday, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's Public School celebrated the day a couple of days before. As a part of pre-celebrations, the school management decided to honour and appreciate fathers for essaying a crucial role in nurturing their wards. The participating dads were given 'I love dad' badges. A curated photo booth was arranged, displaying a collage-work of father-child images.
Dedicating to fathers, a dance presentation was given by pre-primary students. Father-child duo games also formed a part of the celebrations. Later, winners of various competitions walked away with prizes and trophies. According to the school Principal Shimpy Kumari, the celebration was meant to offer a memorable experience aimed to strengthen father-child bond and appreciate contributions made in the wards' upbringing.
Adding flavour to the occasion, Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach is inviting guests to indulge in a gourmet buffet, enjoy live music, partake in interactive family games and create lasting memories by getting their special moments captured through photographs at its award-winning restaurant Square. And the special dining opens here on Sunday from 12:30 noon to 3:30 pm.
Those who were unable to go shopping to pick a gift for their dad ended up placing orders on e-commerce sites. 'From mugs to perfumes, watches to wallets, there are plenty of options online. However, this time, I decided to give my dad a travel neck rest pillow as he has been complaining of neck pain post his work trips,' says V Ramakrishna, who works in a BPO. Bakeries in various places across the city witness a brisk business as advance booking for customised cakes trickle in.
