It rained only sweets and balloons

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: It was a sunny day that welcomed back children in the city to their schools after the summer vacations.

As hundreds of children walked into classrooms for the first time on Tuesday, at least some seemed disappointed at not being able to flaunt that new umbrella and raincoat, bought specially for the occasion. Others were too busy being at sea in the new environment.

At the Manacaud TTI LPS, where the district-level inauguration of �Praveshanotsavam was held, the school and city Corporation authorities added colour to the event with balloons and festoons.
