When you can easily reach your destination in a 100 minute flight but you still prefer an extra 800 minutes on the highway, you can call yourself a true seeker of adventure. After experiencing Durga puja in its full grandeur in my home city ( read about my experience here ) we used up the rest of…
Durga Puja in Bengal – A once in a lifetime experience !
What Christmas is to the world, the hundreds of Indian festivals are to India ! Not even one loses it significance because of the presence of so many others. Each one is celebrated with great pomp and show and one lifetime is not enough to know and see them all. I am proud and blessed…
Epic Road Trip – Kolkata to Agra
Looking at the map of India, I find Kolkata and Agra pretty close to each other. My small hands can draw a line between them in a jiffy. In my small world it all sounded really simple and I thought it would be like any other road trip I have been to before until we…
Stockholm – The Land of Museums !
I know Sweden for Alfred Nobel, the famous scientist. Alfred is known popularly for the Nobel prizes but very few know that he was the inventor of Dynamites. Legends have it, that Alfred did not want to be remembered by people as a creator of something so destructive hence he left enormous money in his…
Nature at its best !
In my school much importance is given to plants and their usefulness. We have Nature Walks ( to identify plants and their medicinal uses) & Nature Corners (corners dedicated to plants in every class) for students of all the classes. From the very beginning, we have been taught to care for the environment. But still…
Norway – The way to Northern Lights !
When my dad planned a trip to Norway in the summers we knew we would miss on the Northern Lights. I fell in love with them the first time I saw them on YouTube. I usually paint the sky with multiple colours in my drawing class. Though the only time I have seen Indian sky…

I have been instructed to share some URLs(i dont know what that stands for .. my mother spelled that out for me) with all my young friends. Those websites are helping me a lot at school. I am shining, trust me. And the credit goes to my 1 . Grand dad – who teaches me…
Last Birthday !
Like every other kid of my age, all my 364 days of the year revolve around just one day and that’s my birthday. I love all who are born in that month and every little/big thing in the history that took place in it. I am learning literature at school and I hate it when…
All that glitters is Gold !
I am very excited today. I have something to share. Apart from studies I am also learning to fight. I am shy and reserved and I love music, my teacher says I am a good singer too. But my elder aunt insisted that I continue learning fighting. She said it will help me fight the bad…
Be AWESOME BE A BOOK NUT !
I am Mehr, my mom says its a Persian name which means ‘blessing’. Though I really adore names like Aurora, Moana, Rapunzel etc I have finally made peace with my non – princess name. Honestly, I don’t have a choice. I am eight years old bookworm, I carry story books to even vacations. So I…
