The Birth of BoloKids.com
by Ramendra Kumar 

November First is Diwali, the Festival of Lights. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil, wisdom over ignorance and light over darkness. On this day new friendships are forged, old ties strengthened and there is an ambience of fun, joy and happiness in the air. New clothes, freshly painted houses, beautifully sculpted idols, the aroma of mouth watering delicacies, the brightness of lamps, the dazzle of sparklers, the exchange of greetings, the devotion of the elderly, the enthusiasm of the youth and the sheer unadulterated joy of the children – this festival epitomizes the spirit of celebration in its pristine form.

On Diwali or Deepawali we ‘ring out the old and ring in the new’ in more ways than one. For instance, in some communities Diwali ushers in the new year.

We at Boloji have also been toying with the idea of ‘ringing in the new’. We felt the need to create an exclusive network for children up to the age of 16 years. So, on the auspicious occasion of Diwali, we are delighted to present to you your own portal BoloKids – The Network for Children.

Our aim is to enable you to confidently explore, experience and enrich this exclusive web site devoted to kids like you. Bolokids shall publish poems, stories, articles on varied themes, quiz, quotes, et al. It will also conduct creative writing workshops in which you can participate and win.

So friends grab your mouse and embark on a voyage of fun, frolic, learning and earning.
