| PAGE TO STAGE (rhyme enactment) |

The continued vitality of children's publishing despite competition from a host of newer media suggests that the illustrated books on nursery rhymes remains unparalleled in its ability to nurture the imagination and provide both instruction and delight.
Therefore, Eureka, through its novel competition, Page to stage takes you on a journey, a flashback and provides you with an opportunity not only to recite those rhymes but also to actually witness them being dramatized on the stage. |
With friends I ran the lanes of childhood,
those thoughts stay on and memories linger
and still I hum the rhymes once learnt,
though words I do but faintly remember |

| MERRY QUERIES (quiz) |

The human brain is the most intricate and complex part of the human body, weighing the least but stores an unimaginable amount of data. To gauge the capacity and limitations of the human mind is beyond imagination and studies have proved that the wisest have used only 5-10% of their mental capability. To sharpen, nourish and to prevent it from rusting, like any other part of our body our brain too is required to exercise regularly. An interactive verbal parrying with intelligence and wits is what a quiz is all about.
