the world in your pocket

So it seems that enterprising Indian kids don’t just belong in the movies.
Meghna is a 13 year old Indian schoolgirl who hopes to become a writer. And she is making a good start with her blog.
Started when she was only 12 years old, Delve into the Mind of a Budding Blogger contains Meghna’s stories and poetry as well as snippets of life in India.
School and exams are a big part of life at the moment, but friends even more so. In her last post, Meghna says:
That was what we called life! School….friends and my class….that is LIFE!
We are looking forward to reading about more fun times in the future!

As well as taking a look at what’s going on inside India, it’s also an opportunity to catch a glimpse of an Indian perspective on the world.

Kalyan and Suman are from Calcutta, and write all about Indian culture in Heaven’s Garden.
