Next Sunday 21st June 2026 we begin with the Bookclub @ Mindgym_kids_library.

They are a joyous and inspiring hourly Sunday morning sessions at the library between 11a.m. and 12 noon.
Initiated as a weekly meet among young readers of age between 7 - 11 years, they are designed to encourage children towards good reading habits, choosing and learning from various authors from history and contemporary.
We often introduce new Indian authors time and again to create awareness of our own social, geographical and cultural heritage.
In times when Google can often confuse you with unvalidated knowledge through the information highway, we try to bring back children to GK books with pictures and finding joy in turning pages 😊!

Refer to earlier posts on this page to know about our past sessions.

Please call or if you can’t get through send a message to Rupal or me to know more.
Our numbers are on the images posted above 👆

The sweet little twins Kia and Kaavi have been coming to the library since over 2 years and I have seen their reading grow steadily from small short books to those with mature content.
Recently I was pleasantly surprised to know that the girls are also members of another old family library called Zankar and last month had been awarded for reading the maximum number of books!!!!

Happy and proud to learn how the reading bug has got them hooked and they are thoroughly enjoying the holidays in the company of their forever friend📚🤗

When I announced the bookclub meet in the humid month of May, I wasn’t how many would be braving the humid evening heat to come and change their books !
To my surprise we had more friends of Mindgym turn up than ever before and many picked up books to read during their holidays.

A week ago, it was not just another Saturday evening at Mindgym …
Because….. the space was transformed with laughter and joy and the most hilarious of children that line could have.
Happy Uncle’s trip to Vadodara has been acknowledged and his introduction has been aptly penned by some of the newspapers here!!!

Happy to share with you all 😊

Shri Pravin Tulpule, “The Happy Uncle” visiting from Mumbai has been invited to Mindgym coming Saturday especially for our kids!!🤡

From a Naval veteran to Happy Uncle , Pravin found his calling in making terminally ill children happy and has been using theatre, magic and laughter to bring happiness in the lives of children of all ages 😊

Happy uncle has had a passion for magic and entertainment all his life. While in Navy he was a DUTY UNCLE Naval Officer during parties, taking care of the kids and entertaining them, and during one of these performances, something stirred him.

A family friend had called Pravin to entertain a bunch of children, when he realized that he was expected to entertain a bunch of children, about 30-35 children.
Most of them cancer patients, serious cancer patients, terminally ill patients, bald, wearing caps, somebody even on a drip. He was not too sure how he could entertain them. But he performed a CLOWING GIG to the claps of thunderous claps.

And he realized this it was his calling. He left the white uniform away and get into Medical clowning, an unheard journey & unheard career.
It was a very, very difficult decision to take, convincing his commanding officer, his seniors, family and friends. At times, he ended up spending money from his pocket to make sure that children get their bread & butter. He did corporate shows and events, so that there’s nobody cribbing that Pravin kept them hungry and he transformed into a clown.

The children need happiness!
The parents need happiness!
The helpless & frustrated doctors need happiness! We all need happiness. My friends out there, need happiness.
We all need happiness because without happiness, nothing works. ♥️

Children young and not so young …
Please join us for this enjoyable performance on Saturday 16th evening 2026
