Who said storytime was just for kids?
Somewhere along the way, we grew up—and stopped calling it storytime. But we never stopped looking for stories.
In books and movies. In conversations. In memories. In the lives of people around us.
Storytime with Shikha is a place to slow down and listen. Stories that might make you laugh, wonder, remember, or feel something you haven't felt in a while.
Some will be mine. Some will belong to people I meet along the way. Some may be funny, some tender, some unexpected—and some simply ordinary.
Come sit for a while.
It's storytime.
One-on-One Travels, Episode 3: Just the Two of Us in Jaisalmer
A two-day trip to Jaisalmer with my teenage nephew. Just the two of us.
Somewhere between exploring forts, watching a puppet craftsman, eating Maggi on a boat, and dancing to Rajasthani folk music, I got to see different sides of a boy I've loved since he was little.

One-on-One Travels, Episode 2: With the Friend
A trip with my dear friend Raju took us to Odisha.
But of all the things we saw, the memory we return to most often is a day we hadn't planned.
Sometimes, the most ordinary moments are the ones that stay with us.

One-on-One Travels, Episode 1: With Ma
A pilgrimage to Himachal Pradesh became my first one-on-one journey with Ma.

The Spaces We Choose
A highway or a city road? Sometimes, the route we choose is about more than reaching our destination.
From busy roads to libraries, movie theatres, and water parks, I find myself wondering about the little commonalities that bring strangers into the same spaces.

Word for Word
Some stories are told so often that we know exactly what comes next. The words, the pauses, even the smiles.
And yet, we enjoy hearing them again.
Perhaps sometimes, it's not just the story, but the joy someone finds in telling it.

Lost in Navigation
A late-night pickup, a lost friend, and far too many Tim Hortons!
An unexpected adventure through the streets of Montreal, with a little neuroscience along the way.
No hot chocolate, but definitely a story.

Migration
From wondering how birds migrate across the world to experiencing migration myself, the questions have changed over the years.
And somewhere along the way, I've discovered that the here and the there are both very much in me.
Yet I still look up at the sky and wonder...
Where? How? Wow!

What Did You See Today?
What began as a silly imaginary story between a mother and daughter became a little world of their own.
Sometimes, the most beautiful moments are the ones that belong just to two people.

On My Fingertips
We move past our experiences, but their power remains.
Sometimes, all it takes is a familiar smell to travel decades back to a place we hadn't even realized we remembered.

Taking a Stone Home
A dusty road. A few children walking home from school. And a stone for each of them.
No rules. No winners. Just a little game that made an ordinary walk their own.

The Same Joy, Differently
Same joy. Different people. Different places.
Sometimes, the things we love don't disappear. They simply find new ways to be part of our lives.

Treat you better?
There's a Shawn Mendes song that always makes me smile.
Not because of the music, but because of one particular line.
And every time, I come back to the same question.
Surely you've got something better than that?

Opposites Attract?
Growing up, I often heard couples who had been married for years say, “We're complete opposites! Opposites attract!”
And I always wondered... do they?
Are we really opposites? Or do we simply enjoy the same things in wonderfully different ways?

Turmeric
My mother taught me many things in the kitchen. But one tiny instruction stayed.
Every time I reach for the turmeric, I hear her voice.
It's strange how people stay with us—not always in big memories, but in the ordinary things they once taught us.
For me, it's turmeric.
What is it for you?

The Things We Keep
A bright blue school bag. Yellow straps. A lunchbox stain. Pencil crumbs in the corners.
Some things stay with us long enough to collect pieces of our ordinary lives.
What are you keeping? And what is it keeping for you?

In the Wind
There is a story I read as a child whose title I can't remember.
Almost thirty years later, whenever I find myself walking alone in strong wind, they come back to me.
Sometimes all that's left is a picture, a character, a sentence... or simply a feeling.
What story do you still carry with you?

The Whistle
The one time I made it to a Sports Day final, I missed the whistle.
I did eventually run. I even came home with a bronze medal.
But years later, the medal isn't what I remember.
Sometimes you think you're going to remember the race.
And years later, you remember who was watching.

Dhruv
A little boy. A mountain. And a story I believed completely.
When I was in Grade One, my dad told me about Dhruv—a boy who lived inside a mountain we passed every morning on the way to the school bus.
Years later, I still remember him.
In the first episode of Storytime with Shikha, I go back to that little mountain in Rajasthan, and to one of my earliest memories of discovering what a story can do to our imagination.
Maybe we never stopped needing storytime. We just stopped calling it that.
