PC: My Paperback



This group of three detectives is no ordinary one.

These are no casual detectives. 


They are energetic kids who want to keep themseleves busy and engaged in a  good cause. They are bent upon catching a peculiar thief and put him to book.

Out of the three musketeers, Asha is like an Indian Hermoine, know-it-all girl! While Karthik excels in drawing out mathematical conjuctures, Aarav is the one with the gift of gab.

At the end, you will understand that sometimes the need of the hour and curiosity to solve a problem are bigger than nabbing the actual thief. 


The mystery presented by the author is very methodical. Stories like these are great puzzle-games for kids. 

No doubt, while reading this book, the children will pour themselves in trying to solve the  mystery themselves too. 

This book is full of nerdy moments, fun and great illustrations. 



PC: Illustration from the book


This is great a passive yet creative way to get the young minds to explore and learn the idea of team work


Only the other day I was musing on the idea of books that are well-suited to be adapated into movies. 

It is one such book I think would make a great adaptation. 


Children and adults alike will love it. 

This is a perfect book to be given as gifts to kids. 



Happy Reading!

Binliosmia!

PC:  riedelmeier-Pixabay Tickle The Sleeping Brain: Ever wondered why there is this nagging and a never-ending fight between the two genders - male and female trying to perhaps, prove which one is stronger than the other ? The real tug of war is basically based on rights and duties. Who would know what and how things took place in history that has its ripples alive till date such that women seem to have to fight for basic rights for their cause and some misunderstood assumptions are born which tell men that somehow, their rights are being snatched away in the process of making way for women. The basic idea of right to live in peace professed in almost all global social movements is lost in the milieu of ignorance and flawed disposition of pride and arrogance.

Without knowledge, I once grabbed cranberries for a leisure munching, imagining them to taste sweet by their look.  Later I was scampering to look for a recipe to make something out of it and not let it go waste.  Cranberries in reality taste too sour. However, they taste amazing when  dried or cooked.  Cake seemed to be a great idea as I had eaten it before somewhere.  This is going to be a very simple recipe of a homemade cake with just an addition of cranberries. Let us go step by step:  Even though originally the secret ingredient to cooking or baking is a smile that pirouettes on your face, specific ingredients are listed below. 1. Dry Ingredients: Gather two small to medium sized cups of all-purpose flour. One cup of fine sugar. You can replace sugar with honey/ maple syrup/ agave. If you replace sugar, add it later with wet ingredients (Step 2) One spoon salt One spoon baking powder Give it a mix by simple whipping or with a hand ble...

SAVE THOSE LOCKS...

    PC:   Image by Gabriela Kania from Pixabay  What is more worrisome to you, those mistakenly dropped strands in your food or those tangled in your comb? Well, both are equally frightening, including those which you see going down the drain in front of your eyes as you watch helplessly like a mute spectator. Each one of us is fully aware of the horror of hair loss. The affect such a loss has on our psyche to that terror we feel at the dead of night thinking of solutions to stop the recession, err...the hair loss, has an immense impact on us. And, we got nothing but to pat our 'light-head' to sleep. Gruesome sketch, right? But it is what it is! When we start losing hair and we no longer wake up to dreams of face and hands full of extra voluminous hair out of nowhere as we once used to, the terror depicted above stands valid.  What A Malady:  Hair is a natural resource. We are born with it. Those sitting on scalp are believed to be the most sought after and...
