The Story-Catcher – A Review by a 9-year-old
I’ve been waiting for something momentous before writing my blog – what could be more momentous than a review of The Story-Catcher by a nine-year-old? Arushi Upadhyaya had to design a […]
Alma Mater
Thoughts come to me in bits and pieces. The house charts are still displayed at the back of the hall. They’ve become bigger and grander, not restricted to single sheets […]
Books for Rainy Days
It’s been a while since I wrote, mainly because I’ve been reading. Here’s a look at some of what I’ve read recently. As a child, I enjoyed reading and collecting the entire Animal […]
St. Mary’s … St. Mary’s …

Sea of Tears
The cover illustration of Sea of Tears was just lovely. The wake of a boat curving into a big ‘S’, a little girl looking out at the sea … It was […]
