Summary

Neel's schoolmaster believes he is capable of winning the Sundarbans scholarship to go and study in the big city of Kolkata. Neel on the other hand doesn't want to leave his beloved Sundarbans and go away from its beautiful nature. His parents also want him to win the scholarship. Just a couple months before this an evil and rich man called Gupta shifts to the Sundarbans. Gupta also secretly poaches and sells rare animals on the black market. One day, a tiger cub goes missing. Neel and his sister have to save the tiger cub and give it to the forest rangers before Gupta and his men find the cub and sell it in the market. Will they find the cub? Read this amazing book to find out.

My View

I found this book very intriguing to read as it gave me a lot of awareness about poaching and how endangered tigers are in India. I really enjoyed how Neel found where the cub was by thinking where he might hide if he was running away from home. The book was also fun-filled and was not too serious. The nature of the Sundarbans was described so well that I could feel it around me and made me want to go there. I also liked how Neel found the tiger and gave it to the rangers because it was the right thing to do and that he didn't give it to Gupta and his men for a lot of money. This shows his love for the nature around his home the Sundarbans

My Experience In The South City Premier League This year I wanted to watch the IPL in stadium but I didn't get the oppurtunity to do so but I got to participate something just as competitive and fun, the South City Premier League. The SPL was so popular that it appeared on the newspaper. 20 matches,11 teams(8 of them men's and the other 3 women's )but everyone's got their eyes on the trophy. It's a ground where different cultures meet and people are put on the limelight of Southcity to showcase their cricket skills. The Auction Let's get to one of the coolest parts of The South City Premier League. Associations from South City had bought teams and were contesting in an IPL-like auction to bid for players in their teams. The Teams Were: Men's Teams Women's Teams Manipal Guardians Telugu Titans Gujurat Titans Maratha Challengers Majestic Mavericks Gandaberunda Utkala Warriors Jalikattu Juggernauts God's Own XI Royal Bengal Tigers Pink Panthers My dad w...

     Welcome back to my blog. Today I am going to be talking about a readers haven for bookworms from all of India. A place for you to meet your favourite authors. A place where you can draw with Illustrators. A place where you can see your favourite authors talking to each other. A place where you are never denied your reading rights. A place where reading is celebrated like no other, The Neev Literature Festival.  On the 28th and 29th of September 2024, The Neev Literature Festival was held in Bangalore. It brought authors from all around India and even famous authors from US and Australia. These authors came here to share their experience about writing to kids and also for them to sign their books and give book reading sessions to children. I went to the Neev Literature Festival for the 5th time in my life(I went in 2019,2021,2022 and 2023 before this year) and I could say  without doubt that this was the best one in all the ones I've gone.

 Have you ever acted in out a movie scene in the shooting spot of an iconic film which has won the National Film Award? Well I have. Let me tell you have this all started. We were in the second and last day of our 2-day trip to Hyderabad. We had decided to go to Ramoji Film City which was the biggest film city in India covering over 2000 acres. Pretty impressive, huh! It was an hour's drive from our hotel and we reached there. They had many tour package options and we chose the star package as it had the huge advantages of skipping lines, AC buses in the tiresome weather and 100 rupee coupons in the souvenir stores. We had to wait in the lounge were we got 3 boxes of chocolates and 6 water bottles. We didn't wait much and our bus arrived in 5 minutes. It was a 10 minute drive from the ticket counter to the actual film city. We had a tour guide who took us to all the places and explained what movies were shot there. First, we went to a room with many automatic doors were we lear...
