Inspiring Young Minds: Dr. Shubham Mahajan's Author Visit Lights Up DPS School Nashik.

Nashik, 21st July 2025 — A vibrant literary morning unfolded at Delhi Public School, Nashik, as students from Grades 3 to 5 welcomed Dr. Shubham Narayan Mahajan—renowned Ayurveda doctor and author of the children’s book "Adventures in Nashik: Tales of Health and Wonder"—for a memorable author visit.

The event, held in the school’s colorful Rabindra Hall, became a celebration of storytelling, culture, health, and imagination. Dr. Mahajan’s session bridged the gap between traditional values and youthful curiosity, igniting a spark among the budding readers.

A Book Rooted in Local Flavors and Healthy Lessons

"Adventures in Nashik: Tales of Health and Wonder" takes children on a journey through Nashik’s temples, farms, ghats, and vibrant bazaars. Each chapter introduces imaginative adventures wrapped in simple Ayurvedic health tips, making ancient wisdom accessible to modern young minds.

Dr. Mahajan read aloud from the much-loved chapter “The Panchavati Peaches”, enchanting the audience with his lively storytelling. Students eagerly interacted—sharing their favorite parts of the book and asking insightful questions—turning the session into an engaging literary dialogue.

Empowering Young Writers

Dr. Mahajan shared his journey—from a medical student inspired by Nashik’s heritage to a published author—offering a message of encouragement: stories can come from everyday moments.

“I wanted children to see that Nashik isn’t just where we live—it’s a city full of stories, health, and hidden wonder,” he said.

He encouraged students to observe their surroundings and find stories in the ordinary. A short writing activity followed, where students imagined magical events just outside their school gate. Ideas like “a flying mango tree” and “a river that sings when you're sick” reflected the creative energy he had ignited.

Leaving a Lasting Impression

Faculty members appreciated the impact of the visit. “We aim to nurture curiosity in our students,” said Mrs. Shruti Deshmukh, English faculty coordinator. “This event took it a step further—giving them the confidence to craft and share their own stories.”

Dr. Mahajan’s closing message—“Every story matters, even yours”—left a lasting impression. He signed copies of his book for the school library and posed for photos with the students, many of whom pledged to begin their own storytelling journeys.

Blending Tradition, Health, and Creativity

In a time when digital distractions abound, events like this reinforce the importance of reading and imagination. By rooting stories in local culture and health wisdom, "Adventures in Nashik" offers children an enriching literary experience that both educates and entertains.

As the visit came to a close, the students didn’t just take home signed books—they carried with them a belief: that their lives, too, hold magical moments worth writing about.
