Aishani Majumdar It was a Tuesday morning. As I got up to brush my teeth, I saw somebody flying past our window on a broomstick. I was very surprised and curious, but I had no time to think over it as I was getting really late for school. Finally, when I finished dressing up, my father dropped me to school. As I was walking to …

But it was far better to be attacked by these gigantic anopheles …

Shramana Bhattacharya One day, as usual I was browsing the web, drinking a cup of milk early in the morning. After a few minutes I came across a headline: “An Autistic child is successfully selected for IIT”. Back then I did not understand about autism. Later I learnt that it is a disease in which a person’s brain development is hindered. You must be wondering …

Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr- all of them were ordinary people who decided that the world needed their help. They were true leaders, who …

Asmita Mukherji Tracing the flight of a butterfly across the garden from his veranda, the sound of the creaking gate distracted Piku. The sunrays presented him with a familiar silhouette – Dadu. As Piku ran down the stairs, the doorbell rang and Minati Masi opened the door. Piku spotted someone accompanying his grandfather and immediately took refuge behind the sofa. He had had too many …

Shantanu Dey This is a saga of an immortal hero, Jatindranath Mukherjee (Bagha Jatin) and the early struggles for Independence. It was also a conspiracy of epic proportions. Prologue Many sung and unsung heroes have enriched the freedom movement but there were few exceptional leaders among them.
