Why It Is Important To Grow Up With Stories
Create some magic moments for your child. Tell them stories!
The Summer I Fell Deeply In Love — With Books!

Prof. Yash Pal – From asking questions to answering them

Has the ‘Child’ in childhood disappeared?
Far from feeling carefree like butterflies and enjoying their childhood, our kids might actually be glad to leave their childhood behind them, considering how many of them are being pushed to excel by their parents!
The invisible workforce
A child is a child, no matter if she is born in a slum or in a palace. She deserves the best. So if you cannot give her the best, at least do not let her have the worst. Or is it asking too much?
Children and sensitivity
By shielding children from the plight of the poor and powerless aren’t we ensuring that they grow up into insensitive adults who shun such realities to avoid being ‘depressed’?

One sleepy post
If I lose an hour’s sleep, I need to sleep an extra three hours to make up the deficit. So if I stay awake say, till midnight one day, I need an extra nine hours’ sleep to make it up. Others need their work-outs, gym and yoga or tonics to keep fit; I need my snoooooooooze.

Child abuse — has anything changed?
Children are increasingly becoming the victims of every kind of crime. What is even more disturbing is the fact that they are themselves becoming the perpetrators of the abuse and other crimes against other children, be it rape or murder. My heart goes out to the parents who send their children to school everyday, not knowing which beast is lurking around the corner. Creating awareness to protect the children and noise enough to scare the criminals are the only solutions in sight.
Cute nursery rhymes?
The one good thing about nursery rhymes is that they are taught to very small children who don’t ask you the meaning of the words but happily sing them!
Where is the magic of childhood?
One need not have oodles of money for children to have fun. All it requires is imagination and some effort.
