Review: And That Is Why – Manipuri Myths Retold

Decked up with beautiful rich Manipuri art, these stories of myths and legends are unique and quirky.

Review: Have You Met The Anglo-Indians?

It was an amazing experience to read and know about the food, festivals and lingo of Anglo Indians. The illustrations are beautiful and we spent the maximum amount of time with this book.

Soon enough, Taran finds himself charged with a mission by the Lord Ganesha himself!
