The disheartening and dampening mode of online teaching disappeared for a few magical moments when the Maruti courier guy handed the brown envelope containing the precious BBB 5! with the excitement and joy of an 8-year-old receiving an envelope in her name and cutting it open carefully to unfolding the three folds is indescribable!
Just as the editorial spoke to me in your voice, I could hear Usha akka echoing the dreams of many passionate librarians of being a live person in the library to a masterpiece ‘Divaswapna’ reviewed aptly by Anandita. As I embarked on a familiar terrain, the sharing of budding librarians, practitioners, children’s voices, recommendations of amazing books added the spirit I was looking for to begin the new year. The ultimate was the Passage – paran which urges every dedicated professional to return to their vision, and this will be something which will stay with me forever!
Beautiful illustrations, touching language and amazing thoughts made my heart dance to unknown tunes!
Thank you for sharing BBB 5 with me! Will wait excitedly for the next issue!
With lots of love,
Rashmi
