Fluppy: But I don’t know anything about banking. Windy: You need not worry for that. You will have cute animal companions to guide you through the world of banking. These lessons include topics like money, bartering, saving, earning interest and writing cheques. Cliparti: But Windy, apart from learning about money matters, why else is this site useful for us? Windy: Your parents can transfer your pocket money to the kid-e-bank account. And then you can utilise it for shopping at the kid-e-bank’s page. Fluppy: Wow. That means I can have my own account in the bank and do some shopping too. Windy: What’s more. You can even win fabulous prizes as you save more and more money. You can reach this either through my kinda site or directly through www.icici.com/icicibank/index2htm. Cliparti: But truly speaking, as Windy said, your kinda site will be games and games.

Fluppy: That sure sounds a good site for you guys. Cliparti: I have a nice site for you too. It is www.amarchitrakatha.com. You must have read some of those comics. Fluppy: Yes. I have read a few. Windy: Oh, I remember the time when we read these comics. They are lovely set of books. Truly Indian. The manner in which it is written is so lucid and simple, yet it tells us so much about our history, culture and glorious past. I am so happy that they are on the Net now. Cliparti: Yes, at http://www.amarchitrakatha.com you can have the pleasure of reading all of these. Besides you can also buy the comics online, talk to uncle Pai and much more. Windy: With so much of Western influence diluting our culture, I often feel sorry for those kids who, for example are aware of Archies comics but not aware of Amar Chitra Katha or Nandan or Champak. They don’t know what they are missing. Cliparti: Yes. I think we should only take good qualities of other culture and remain firm on our own roots. Just as a plant soon dies without its roots, a man without his roots will also phase out. Fluppy: But Cliparti, man does not have roots. Windy: Forget it, you are too stupid to understand it. Cliparti: Okay, cool it. Fluppy I have another game site for you. At http://www.appukids.com/games.htm you can play Snakes and Ladders or Hangman or Ludo or smart minds.
