A Song of India is the fourth instalment of a seri

A Song of India is the fourth instalment of a series of memoirs by India’s most loved author. Ruskin Bond weaves his magic once more by sharing a slice of his life with his trademark wit and humour. I love the evocation of the life of a teenager in pre-internet era. How he strolled about walking in town, how he went alone to the cinema, borrowed books from a library at a sum of 2 rupees a month, playing badminton with his first crush, her making parathas for him….…all these and many more such instances conjure up the life of a boy in an era that may be alien to children and young adults today. Filled with simple pleasures and simple activities that fill young residents of a small town, this book paints a vivid picture of an era where life was simpler! It is published by Puffin Books. The beautiful illustrations by Mihir Joglekar sync well with Bond’s narrative. It will elicit smiles…maybe a tear or so, but always a warm feeling. #thereadinglife

Mumbai has been a muse to many photographers. Gopa

Mumbai has been a muse to many photographers. Gopal MS achieves the seemingly impossible task of capturing the smells of Mumbai in a digital photobook, Matsyagandha. What do you associate Mumbai with? Wait…what smell do you associate Mumbai with? Every city has unique qualities of its own. It is easy for us to think about the sights and the sounds that are so distinctly Mumbai-like. But, what about the smells? For me, the city smells of the sea, salt and sweat and garbage. Yes, especially for all those who travel in crowded places or walk about the streets. But I still love the spirt of the city, despite the smells. What do Mumbaikars feel about the smells of their city? Can you capture these olfactory notions with a camera? Can you capture the smells in words? A photobook released by Gopal MS, who lovingly captures the streets and the spirit Mumbai in a blog called “Mumbai Paused”, has released a digital photobook that takes on the challenging task of capturing the smells of Mumbai through the lens of a camera. Read our interview with Gopal MS on www.bookedforlife.in And, tell us….what smell do you associate Mumbai with?

Matsyagandha (Smelling like a Fish)
🐬🦈
In the epic Mahabharata, the Queen Godmother Satyavati, was also known as Matsyagandha ("She who smells like fish”). She helped her father in his job as a ferryman. The linkage of the name is due to the smell emanating from her body.
Satyavati was the queen of the Kuru king, Shantanu of Hastinapur and the great-grandmother of the Pandava and Kaurava princes. She is also the mother of the seer Vyasa, author of the epic. Photographer Gopal MS , @mumbaipaused has used the name as title for his digital photobook on the smells of Mumbai. He says of this choice of name, “The city is surrounded by the sea and even if people are engrossed in their lives, there is always the underlining presence of the sea everywhere. The humid air, the fish markets, the smells when the tide rises and falls, especially in the western suburbs. What we identify as the smell of the creek, mangroves or Khaadi is also scented by the sea, even though it smells of our waste. And finally, there is a train that runs from Mumbai to Mangalore that is called Matsyagandha Express. These are the factors that made choose the name,” Read our interview with him on www.bookedforlife.in

In the plethora of choices that we have for children’s educational products, one of more exciting niches have to do with Indian culture, history and mythology. Parents are constantly on the lookout for products that root children to their culture, but are at the same time a fun experience and designed to high quality standards. @saffronstories creates educational materials such as flashcards to present content on Indian culture.
