Hello! I'm Grandpa.

If you're an Arora under 12,

I wrote this book especially for you.

Full of adventure and laughter

Bursting with colorful images

More than eighty pages of delightful stories

Especially for our kids. 

From Grandpa with love. 

Playful in tone and warmly welcoming, 

this book opens a gentle doorway into your own heritage.

Together, we explore our past —

not as a lesson, but as a field-trip full of joy, surprises, and discovery.

Seven Adventures, Richly illustrated

Stories of exciting journeys, wondrous places, and amazing heroes.

Grandpa and Airavata: Your guides to adventure and fun.

Grandpa — wise, gentle, endlessly patient.

Airavata — the Elephant of Heaven: 

three trunks, six tusks, and enough mischief to keep the sky giggling.

Together, we take you on a joyful journey 

across thousands of years

and thousands of miles.

You will visit the places we once called home 

and meet the heroes who shaped who we are.

And you will receive a special gift — 

a map to chart your own future adventures.
