Exclusive Author Interview with Pinki Bakshi Ma'am

Image
  Here we have our Guest Author, Pinki Bakshi ma'am. Giving us insights about her book, The Song of Our Bond, a testament to true friendship. Let's give you a little sneak peek from the interview.  Q1.  The title itself feels deeply emotional. What does “The Song of Our Bond” mean to you personally, and how did it come to you? Ans 1 - For me, The Song of Our Bond represents a single, fragile thread of connection that keeps relationships alive across time and distance. That thread could be anything: a memory, a message, a photograph, a melody. For Meena and Kasturi, it was their shared love for music and the song they created together—something that quietly held them together even decades later. Once the story was complete, I wanted the title to reflect that lingering emotion. The shared tune became symbolic of their bond, and that is how The Song of Our Bond came to life. Q2. At its heart, what kind of bond does the book explore—love, friendship, family, or something be...

Special Book Appreciation Post

Image
  https://www.amazon.in/Chronicles-Silent-Ones-Autobiographies-Inanimates/dp/B0FPRJ86LZ This is not a book but a work of art. It is very rare to see such a book written by an 11-year-old girl. This book is a beautiful reminder that stories exist everywhere - even in the quietest corners of our lives, objects that we overlook every single day, they also have a voice, a soul, and a story which they are willing to share with us.  What makes this book truly special is its innocence yet profound imagination through simple, child - friendly narratives. Sanvi gives life to inanimate objects and allows them to share their joys, fears, and silent observations.  As readers, we are gently drawn towards how this book looks at the world we live in. Have you ever wondered? A clock is no longer a clock. A pencil is no longer just a tool used for writing; each object becomes a quiet witness to human emotions, time, and memories.  The perspective not only sparks creativity but also n...

Poetry Marathon 2026 Winning Writeups

Image
  Thought Lantern organized a Poem Marathon from 1st to 5th Feb, and we congratulate our winners -  Under English Category -  Dr. Romila Chitturi  Day 1 - Rainbow  The heavy clouds begin to drift away, As sunlight pierces through the silver rain, To chase the shadows from the weary day, And wash the colours over the hill and plain. A sudden arc of liquid light appears, Emerging from the vapour and the cold, To soothe away the storm's remaining fears, In bands of violet, green, and burnished gold. It stands as a bridge between the earth and sky, A fleeting miracle for all to see, Before the shifting winds begin to sigh, And fade the rainbow into memory. Day 2 - Moon  A ghostly orb adrift in seas of ink, The world grows still upon the evening's brink. She pulls the ocean with a heavy hand, And scatters pearls across the darkened sand. A lantern hung within the empty height, To guide the lonely travellers of the night. She hides her face behind a veil of grey,...

  Here we have our Guest Author, Swarup Dayal sir, who has written this amazing book, "Roars In the Den." Our Founder and Editor in Chief, Palak Chauhan, ma'am, got a chance to interview sir so here is a little sneak peek from the interview.  Question -1: What inspired the concept of Roars in the Den, and how did the idea of the “den” evolve during the writing process?  Ans 1 - Roars in the Den was born from everyday moments with my younger child. Like many parents today, we were concerned about increasing screen time and wanted to bring our children back to imagination, conversation, and connection. What started as a simple nightly routine—telling bedtime stories—slowly became a sacred family ritual.  Those quiet moments before sleep sparked the heart of this book.   The idea of the “den” came very naturally and playfully during this journey.  While discussing possible titles, something beautiful happened at home. My  younger one, in a moment of ...
