A lesson for children: Republic Day & the Constitution of India

January 27, 2018

I’m a proud Indian. The fact that I’m born and brought up in a democracy which treats all its citizens equally, gives them the right to vote and select their representatives is no less than an honour for me. Our Constitution confers upon us many rights and freedoms which come to us as a birthright… Read More A lesson for children: Republic Day & the Constitution of India

Even in my worst I’m best with you, Yeah! #ThankfulThursdays

November 22, 2017

We never know when, where and how we will run into them. We may take a fair amount of time to completely decipher what ticks them. We will have our share of furious disagreements with them. We may be as different from them as chalk and cheese. Yet, being with them will assure us that… Read More Even in my worst I’m best with you, Yeah! #ThankfulThursdays

Passages and Questions

December 9, 2016

Like Science there were no specific diagrams and correct answers, like Maths there were no formulae to be understood and applied, like History it didn’t require memorising a whole lot of dates and people and like Hindi it didn’t… Read More Passages and Questions

Puzzle me

October 20, 2016

The biggest ever threat to my capability in studies and promising future came when as students we were introduced to the two most perilous-sounding and dread-inducing words; Algebra and Geometry. While the latter helped me sail through owing to my love for drawing and diagrams, the jokes around its last three letters weren’t enough to… Read More Puzzle me

My Talented Baby ☺

July 28, 2016

Remember those science diagrams we had to make way back in school? Anyone who could get them to look even remotely close to the picture in the book felt like he deserved to be placed on a pedestal and demanded respect from other non-talented subjects. Not brag-worthy, but I was always good at drawing. I… Read More My Talented Baby ☺
