The six unique characters
Let’s meet Radha
Radha shared her likings and daring acts. She said that her choicest thing was to climb trees. Climbing trees gave her a feeling that she was able to rule the whole world. Though her mother often advised her not to do this, as it was not good for girls. But one afternoon she also climbed along with her and both of them enjoyed it.
Let’s meet Radha
Do you think it is good to climb trees ?
Is climbing trees only bad for girls ?
Who’s Nasir
Nasir shared his feelings and wished to be a seed collector. His family owned cotton fields in the village. His father spent a lot of money on buying seeds to grow new plants every year. He wanted to stop this as his grandfather told him that in their times, they used to grow new plants from the seeds of their own plants. But this was not applicable in the present times. This was bothering him and he wanted to know the art of seed preservation.
Do you know ?
Why does Nasir’s father buy seeds every year ?
What secret does Nasir’s grandfather tell about seeds of his days ?
Why do you think own seeds are not used for next season now-a-days ?
Wanna know Rohit
Rohit was fond of travelling. If his pocket allowed, he would have visited the whole world. His love was mountains of New Zealand and the Amazon river in South America. Beaches of Lakshadweep and the Konark temple in Orissa were also on his wish list. His choice also included city of Beijing in China and the pyramids of Egypt. He loved nature more than buildings.

���Let’s know Serbjit …..�
Serbjit was full of anger. As the people around him often showed him distrust even when he spoke the truth. When he told his teacher that he couldn’t do his homework because his book was with Ravi, she thought he was a liar. His parents blamed him for starting a fight whereas it was started by his brother. He was feeling angry for all the distrust and was trying to control it.
This is Dolma
Dolma was a girl of high aspirations. Her wish was to be Prime Minister. As PM she wanted to serve her country and make things better for the people. Her belief was that she had leadership qualities. She often solved her friends’ problems. She wanted to make good hospitals, roads, schools in India. She also wanted to send a spaceship to Mars.
About Peter
Second Sunday of the month was Peter’s favourite day. On this day, his family often went for an outing. They watched films, ate peanuts, ice-creams etc. All this refreshed everyone’s mood and they felt happy.
