One of the attendees was 13-year-old Yeshwanth from Pollachi, who had been eagerly waiting to participate in Happy Streets for a long time. Yeshwanth's mother, Poornima K, brought him to the event, where he experienced various activities for the first time, such as ball spinning, which fascinated him. Excited by the experience, Yeshwanth clicked numerous photos and shared them with his friends.
