Mid-70s Mumbai. A shy young office-goer silently falls for a beautiful woman he sees every day at a bus stop, but can never gather the courage to speak to her. Then arrives his rival — her charming colleague.
Sounds like an ordinary story right?
Basu Chatterjee, along with brilliant performances by Amol Palekar, Vidya Sinha, Ashok Kumar, and Asrani, works pure magic and turns it into an extraordinary romantic tale.
And Salil Chowdhury’s soundtrack? Just listen to it and feel it.
Chhoti Si Baat is definitely in my top 25 favorite films.

Growing up in Pune, seeing people riding bicycles was such a common sight.
I recently came across a photo online that instantly took me back, and I couldn’t resist turning it into a sketch for my daily sketching routine.

From #Kpop and #Kdramas to beauty, cinema, and cuisine, South Korea has set global trends across continents and generations. The “K-Cool” phenomenon was not incidental but carefully designed.
Euny Hong’s The Birth of Korean Cool explains how South Korea rejected the one-size-fits-all model, created strategies suited to its own context, and steadily grew its cultural and technological footprint. What appeared to be an overnight phenomenon, was decades of focused effort since Korean independence in 1945.
India’s journey has been different. We haven’t seen a similar global cultural surge. Yet our progress has been largely organic, achieved without large scale Western support that some Asian nations received.
Things are shifting now. Fortunately, political will is beginning to align with the ambitions of the youth and Bharat is taking bold steps in technology, manufacturing, world trade and military strength.
Our younger generation needs to connect with our cultural heritage. Our ancestors left behind timeless wisdom for living balanced and purposeful lives through our scriptures and traditions. By studying these teachings, and truly embodying their values, we can help guide the world towards a more harmonious and ethical path. This should not merely be an aspiration but also our responsibility. AI can become a powerful tool in this mission.
Recently, INS Kaundinya, a vessel built using 2000-year-old maritime technique, completed its maiden voyage, demonstrating how rediscovering ancient wisdom can lead to current innovation.
If a nation of 50 million could create K-Cool and change its destiny, imagine what 1.4 billion people can achieve with confidence, clarity, and sustained effort.
The foundation is being laid. The time for B-Cool is just around the corner. #bharat
Join us in congratulating author @shrutree and illustrator @devika_joglekar for this wonderful review from @kirkus_reviews 🎊
A special shoutout to Devika for the “phenomenal” artwork! We couldn’t agree more!
“. . . a sweet story about determination . . . Joglekar’s illustrations are phenomenal; the style is simple but the use of color shines, particularly the vibrant yellows and oranges of the performers’ costumes, which make them seem to leap off the page.“ —Kirkus Reviews
