ELEZE

 Christmas holidays are ongoing, this year Santa comes to Mumbai. As he steps down the Mumbai Railway station, the pretty girl, Zeel’s eyes catch him. Almost running upto him, she greets him. Santa smiles with warmth. They exchange few pleasantries, have kanda poha there and then Santa starts a trip in the city, guided by Zeel.  They go to DAV International School. Santa gifts a bag/box of sweets. Teacher obliges. After distributing these, she returns to give the box back to him. Santa politely refuses and asks to hand it over to Zeel.

' eleze' is an initiative to share  the educative  activities I do with my daughter ZEEL with  zeal :) . It  all  started  one day, when I  wanted to make h er  practice English  words.  She,  a  grade 1  student,  seemed  uninterested in  writing those.  It  compelled me  to  think  how  to  make  such  sessions appealing  for  her. Here’s one such “Fun n Learn” (as my daughter calls it :) ) session we did in Diwali vacation.  Thank you as you are reading this post.!  ## eleze# 1  Stories, at home, are a routine just like reading newspaper. Only this time, I took it a step further. A couple of days before, I had watched the movie “Junglee” (starring Vidyut Jamwal).
