We spent our weekend with @dipnaa and @freedna at the @bookaroolitfest where we learnt lots about kindness, storytelling and folktales! 🐒📚

A blanket on the grass, a storyteller with half the park leaning in, and a very excited four-year-old who had no idea she was about to fall in love with her first book fest.

We didn’t really have a plan — just followed the stories. Did the movement, the silly voices, the parts where you can’t help but join in. Somewhere in there she just... opened up. Dancing with strangers like they’d known each other forever. Then crayons, then one more story, then one more after that.

And somehow, the day still had room for a playground at the end.

This is the whole thing, isn’t it. Not the planning. Just showing up, and letting a story take you wherever it wants to go.

Stories entered my life when I was very young.
My earliest memories with stories was when I was a little girl and when dad would tell stories to my sister and me. All improvised. With voice modulation and sound effects. Vivid descriptions and a whole sensorial experience!
And then some of my first storybooks that I got as a gift from a family friend when I was hospitalised at the age of 5. My steady companions for a very long time!

Who knew a love like that would then one day emerge as a physical desire to write and tell stories of my own.
I am so grateful to everyone who has helped bring to life my first book - ‘About the Friend in My Heart’ - @thematchboxgirl , @blind_glass , @unmana_bombay , @soshivaniofher , @red_pandaindia , @westland_books .

Because of this book, I get to experience my dream of being a children’s book author and be at literature festivals shoulder to shoulder with writers and illustrators that I’ve admired for years!

I spent the last weekend at @neevacademy ‘s @neevliteraturefestival - observing, listening and connecting with my own inner voice.
An incredible festival dedicated entirely to the universe of children’s literature.

Little Dipna is so proud and is back with a heart filled with dreams and ideas ready to explode!
And a deep knowing that we need to do better for *all* the children of the world.

I feel all of life is a preparation for who I am becoming and funnily enough (yet beautifully), I feel I’m just getting started ✨ by @movewithjoy

What an absolutely fun-filled session with Dipna & Rohit! 🎶📚✨

Music, movement, laughter, dance and storytelling came together to create a truly dramatic storytelling experience — exactly the kind of magic we love at DRBC! 💛

And trust us… this video is just a tiny glimpse of how lively and wonderful the session really was! 💃🎭🎵

Spent Teacher’s Day this year remembering the very core of why I do what I do and returning to my question about love through everything I do! ♥️

Spent three wonderful days -
- in a love circle of people who work with children and educators because we are crazy enough to believe that love is the answer.
- facilitating ‘Pause, Body’ workshops for caregivers as a reminder that our bodies are homes that hold and not just instruments of productivity.
- attending workshops on rest, pedagogy of love, lullabies, art and more!
- truly experiencing a buddy system like no other thanks to @vidiksha_forever 🙌
- appreciating love and textiles with @jaiminibhawna
- sharing ‘The Magical Garden’ along with my partner in crime @rohit_dazzler to an incredible audience (we’ve lost count of the number of shows) but feels like this story needs to reach many many more 🧚‍♀️
- finding sneaky little moments to fall in love with this city and humans again.
- bumping into faces I love! (@amaymarkhapuram )
- a song finding its way into my life twice in the last two months - ‘whatever grows will grow, whatever dies will die. I am planting seeds, nothing more’

Thank you for this incredible celebration of love @museumofsolutions , @teachforindia and @centreforurbancommons that has fuelled me with a good dose of hope!

And to think of the things that speak to children and remain in their nervous systems even as grown adults and artists.

Perhaps that’s why Yayoi’s work connects with children with such ease and joy? by @movewithjoy

The ways we first learn to communicate are through play and moving, so why do we spend the rest of our lives straying away from something so natural and human?

Dipna’s work looks at building education circling around art, not as a skill to develop, but as an experience and way to live by.

If you’re looking to bring a change to how we systematically treat education in India, Bored of Education fellowship is for you.
