Sometimes, life splashes us with muddy water. Sometimes, it sings to us instead. In Sochu: What’s Life If Not a Roller Coaster?, we walk through a rainy day filled with surprise splashes, overflowing emotions, and an unforgettable lesson in how to respond. From Mr. Kumar’s calm laughter to Daadi’s burst of creativity, the story helps us understand that happiness isn’t about what happens to us—but how we choose to see it.
Let these breadcrumbs help your family reflect on reactions, resilience, and what it means to truly go with the flow.
