For Children


Les Beautiful. Les Miserables.
By Ashwini Bhatnagar

Sketch by Rajiv Kaul"THAT'S the gold I see," she said, pointing to the golden glitter which had spread from the shore to the distant horizon where the orb waited to take the final bow before disappearing into the fathomless depths of the sea. " And that’s gold, too," she said, referring to the beach sand which had also changed its hue. "Believe me," she continued, "I believe in what I see. You hold this moment and you will feel the gold around you. Let it pass, and there is only dirty sand and foul smelling sea around you. This is my reality principle --- that 15 minutes-of-fame thing when you are bathed in the ethereal glow that now surrounds us. I say dream about it, live for it, and, most importantly, be there when time and tide are ready to cover you with their shimmer."
