I love dogs and I’ve been asking my parents for a long time to get me one. Well! Guess what? I finally got a dog 2 weeks back. We have named him Yuki which means snow & lucky in Japanese. I’m learning a lot of things about pets and I will be sharing some of it in my new segment called My dog Yuki. Today, we celebrated Sankranti- the indian festival of harvest. I will talk about an interesting Sankranti tradition towards the end of the show. Let’s get started!

Welcome to a brand new season of Kidacity and Happy 2021!

We are back after a short break with some exciting new segments. A lot of you asked for some stories to be included in each episode. In my new segment called Konichiwa Izumi! I will take you into the world of Izumi- a robot maker from Japan with a short story every week. These stories are written by me, so let me know what you think of them.

My friends and I are discussing a lot of fun facts these days. While most of them are true, some of them turn out to be a myth. In my second new segment called Mythbusters, I will bust some common myths from all walks of life.     

Some popular segments such as Good News and Discover Yoga continue in this season as well.

Listen in!

Merry Christmas everyone! The 6 day stretch between Christmas and New Year is very exciting for everyone. But this 6 day stretch this year is not like all the others. 

In this season finale episode, discover some great news from around the world, a wrap up of all the yoga concepts discussed this season and a very special interview with Mr. Ira Barres about France! 

Kidacity and I were featured in 2 leading Indian newspapers this week. Getting interviewed was a little weird at first but when I saw my photo in the newspaper, I was thrilled. A big thank you to all of you for encouraging me.    

Happy New Year and see you in 2021!
