Cherishing Childhood


Children's Corner

Children’s Day is universally celebrated every year on November 20. In India, this day has been preponed to November 14, because the date marks the birth anniversary of the freedom fighter and independent India’s first Prime Minister, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru. Children’s Day in Hindi is known as Bal Diwas.

Jawaharlal Nehru was born on November 14, 1889 in Allahabad. His father, Motilal Nehru was a famous lawyer of his time. His mother’s name was Swaroop Rani. Jawaharlal Nehru was the maker of modern India. As a child, he was brilliant, kind, and was loved by all. As he grew up, he became the beloved of all the children, and they called him ‘Chacha Nehru’. He said that children are the future of a nation and the citizens of tomorrow. He felt that children are the strength of a country.

As a tribute to this great man and his love for children, his birthday is celebrated all over India as Children’s Day. Schools celebrate this day by organising various cultural programmes. Special functions are held to honour children all over the country. Various competitions like quiz, fancy dress competitions, etc., are organised on this day. Therefore, Children’s Day is a very special day, for us all.

He was born to a Xatriya Manipuri family. His father Sri Sanatan Pandit was a Sanskrit teacher and mother Srimati Malati Devi, a house wife. Sadhu Baba from his childhood was indifferent to all worldly happenings. He was engrossed in chanting the name of Lord Krishna. Along with other students of his age, Sadhu Baba started taking lessons of grammar and other spiritual literature from his father. At a very young age he lost his mother but he was brought up with utmost love and care by his step mother.

The 'Star' Krishankant Sinha of Space City Sigma

By RK Rishikesh Sinha, New Delhi It is a myth that the all-knowing Internet knows everything. One such myth relates to old television stuff aired on Doordarshan before 1990. Search in Google “Space City Sigma”, the search engine would throw up reminiscent results from the people who still long for those days. Those days were really golden days. Krishankant Sinha in the role of Captain Tara in Space City Singma For those who have watched Doordarshan some 15 to 20 years back, am sure they will have nostalgic memories of it. The days when possessing a now ubiquitous looking television set was a luxury. It was a neighbour’s envy product. It was a visual product to showoff, to flaunt that we have a television set . Those were the days when black and white, locked television was rarely found in homes. The days became immortal for teleserials like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Swami’s Malgudi Days (Ta-Na-Na-Na…), Ek-Do-Teen-Char (Title song: Ek do teen char, chaaro mil ke saath chale to ...
