Our school had the privilege of hosting an engaging Author Interaction Session for the Grade 6 students with Mr. P. D. D. Sandeep, author of the book From Outrage to the Quiet Revolution. An architect by profession and a writer by passion, Mr. Sandeep beautifully connected structured thinking with creative expression, making the session both meaningful and inspiring.

He spoke about the importance of reading and writing in shaping one’s thinking, imagination, and confidence, and encouraged students to make reading a daily habit and writing a regular practice. He explained how reading helps build ideas while writing helps express them clearly and responsibly.

The session was highly interactive and activity-based. Students participated in exciting writing tasks such as:

• Writing three unique things that they had observed from the previous day,
• Creating their own superhero, along with the superhero’s name, superpower, and fear, and
• Writing a letter to their future self in the year 2035, imagining their dreams and goals ten years from now.

Through these activities, students learned how personal experiences, imagination, observation, and self-reflection can become powerful tools for writing. The activities sparked creativity, boosted confidence, and helped students understand that writing can be both enjoyable and meaningful.
