SCHEDULE

11:00- Furry Paws, Wet Noses: Storytime with Vikram Uncle

A pack of dogs and a curious crew of cats set off on a daring mission—to claim the same bowl of milk. Along the way, they face playful challenges, surprising twists, and plenty of mischief. But in the end… who will win the prize?

Join storyteller Vikram Sridhar for a lively, interactive performance designed for children and families. Bursting with songs, humor, and fascinating facts about dogs and cats, this show promises a fun-filled experience that will spark imagination and laughter for all ages.

12:00- Paws, Claws and Ancient Laws!- Aparna Jaishankar

Ever wondered why a cat would wear a tilak? Or why a mighty King would turn his back on Heaven for a common gully dog? From silent temple courtyards of the South to the bustling spice markets of the West, our four legged friends haven’t just been ‘pets’. They have been guardians, tricksters and divine companions.

So come for an hour of stories on these wonderful creatures who are part family, part clown but fully have our hearts!

Psst: the best part – you don’t have to choose if you are a cat person or a dog lover!

3:30-4:15 Granny and Friends - The Madcap Pack with Aparna Karthikeyan
