Pehchaan The Street School × Cinepolis: Where Children’s Day Became a Memory When the screen starts glowing and all the children suddenly go silent, like the whole world just paused for them. It’s the kind of feeling your heart remembers even before your mind catches up. And this Children’s Day became one of those for […]
Pehchaan The Street School × EcoRight: A Chain of Kindness That Came Back Brighter There are some recycled pieces of kindness that don’t feel like collaborations… they feel like life re-circling back with a little more bagfuls of feelings than before.

To The One Who Lives Beyond The Sky My Amma called you Bhagwan ji. Azaad calls you Allah. An aunty on our street says Jesus. I don’t know which one of you is reading this—but I’m writing to the one who lives beyond the sky. My Amma fell sick. Azaad’s Ammi said she went to […]
Muggle School: Harry Potter New Adventure School days are filled with fun and a bit of stress too. From enjoying the games period to crying over math problems, we had a roller-coaster journey. During my childhood, I often dreamed, what it would be like to go to Hogwarts and study alongside Harry, Hermione and Ron […]
Wohi Pehla Pen — A Collaboration that Rewrote Nostalgia We all remember that first pen. Whether it was quietly “borrowed” from an older sibling’s pouch, or picked from the few lying on our father’s table, that first ink pen felt like a milestone. In a blink, we were covered in blue ink stains, confused tears […]
MasterChef: Volunteer Edition [Opening Scene: Studio lights up. The set is unconventional — open sky above, streetlights as spotlights. The host walks in, apron marked not with flour, but chalk and ink stains. A clipboard in one hand, a smile in the other.] Host (with gusto): “Welcome to the most soul-stirring culinary competition of the […]
