Back in Class 9, my Hindi teacher told me to start reading chapter 3, Upbhoktavad Ki Sanskriti from Kshitij book aloud. I was known as the fastest reader in class; no stumbles, no pauses, just straight-up speed reading. But that day? That day was different.

If you are a 90s kid, you have known the good old days, spending hours outdoors and watching Doordarshan’s iconic shows like Chitrahaar, Bioscope, and The Jungle Book. And now, when something reminds us of that time, nostalgia hits hard. Joyeeta is one such artist. Each of her illustrations is a visual treat that brings back the simplicity and innocence we often miss.
