Kidacity- Learn. Share. Grow
Welcome to Kidacity where kids learn, share, and grow together.
Our brand new season - season 12 of the podcast explores how the world actually works by taking big, often confusing ideas — like power, money, geopolitics, and business — and breaking them down through real stories, expert conversations, and thoughtful explanations. Instead of just reacting to headlines, it focuses on understanding the systems, choices, and consequences that shape everyday life. It's designed for curious young minds - like yours and mine - to think critically, question easy narratives, and see the world with clarity, context, and confidence.
A little bit about me: I'm an 13 year old from Bengaluru, India and a student of Grade 8 in The International School Bengaluru. I love building structures with Jenga blocks, learning about planes, writing, my dog Yuki's nose and most of all, Japan. I research a lot about these topics and share what I learn with my family and friends. My parents encouraged me to write and I have published 2 books so far. The Talking Walking Tree and Konnichiwa Izumi: Adventures in 2040. Both of them are available on Amazon and at leading bookstores in India.
I will be grateful if you encourage me by listening to my podcast, reading my books and sharing your feedback with me.

Ep 93- Patriotism at Atari-Wagah border: Must visit for every Indian (Travelogue)

Have you watched any military parade on television? The biggest parade of the year happens every year on Republic Day (which is also my birthday!). The army contingents march with so much coordination that it is wonderful to watch. But there is another ceremony that happens in the Northern part of India where India and Pakistan share a border.
About 30 kms from Amritsar in Punjab is the Atari- Wagah border. Atari is the last village on the Indian side and Wagah is the last village on the Pakistani side. Every evening, both sides conduct a flag lowering ceremony. Thousands of people gather on each side to see this.
I was lucky to be a part of this event during my recent trip to North India. Everyone was chanting Vande Mataram and it was once in a lifetime experience. If you get a chance to do this in person- you should not miss it.
