It was a jubilant moment for an enthusiastic lot of 15 school children, who dropped by the dna office on the eve of Children's Day. The children, aged 11-16, were invited to be guest editors and interacted with the editorial team. The children came from Vidyavihar's The Somaiya School, Mahim's KJ Khilnani High School, New Mahim Municipal School, Dadar Gokhale Municipal English School and others.

dna's editor in-chief CP Surendran addressed the children who told him about the kind of stories they would prefer to read in dna's Children's Day edition on Friday (today). The views ranged from having more information on technology, to efforts to address basic issues like water and sanitation. They also suggested that the paper include a section for children everyday. "We would like the paper to have positive stories, and not just filled with crime news," quipped Yesha Soni, a seventh grader of TSS.

The children were also keen to learn about the history of 'Children's Day' and why it is celebrated. "We want to know how Children's Day will be celebrated across schools in the country," said another TSS student, Abhishek Mathur.

A majority of the kids expressed desire to become doctors and teacher when asked what they would like to do in life. Some also said they aspired to become scientists, choreographer, football players and fashion designers.

Ten-year-old Kusum Verma was overcome with emotion while recalling her mother's desire that she become a doctor. Kiran Verma, from New Mahim Municipal Primary School, said she wanted to be a police officer to check the increasing instances of violence against women in the city.
