What Awaits You at the Finale

What Awaits at the Finale, many of you ask

Children, come as you are.
With stories half-formed,
questions buzzing,
eyes ready to notice more.

This is where writing steps outside.
Under trees.
Across paths.
Into parks where ants march with purpose
and ladybirds pause like punctuation marks.

With Vikram Sridhar, stories begin on the move—
walking, watching, listening,
learning how the world speaks
before we write a single word.
Parents walk too, discovering that stories
belong to families, not notebooks alone.

With Sonia Duggal, words find courage—
clear thinking, honest voice,
ideas that know why they exist.
Writing becomes intention.

With Andrea Jacob,
listening deepens.
With Prabha Rama,
memory learns rhythm.
With Chitra Soundar,
imagination plays freely.
With Lavanya Srinivas,
stories soften and strengthen at once.

Some sessions sing.
Some sit quietly under shade.
Some begin with a leaf,
a stone,
a question.

Children write together
They disagree kindly.
They discover how different lives
shape different stories—
and why that matters.

About perfect sentences, yes.
It is about becoming awake.
About noticing.
About writing because the world asks you to.

Two days where stories are lived
before they are written.
Where friendships form without effort.
Where joy sneaks into learning.

If you come,
bring curiosity.
Bring your whole self.

The rest will happen
naturally.
