A big Hello to our Curious and Creative young ones!

We are back again with the latest edition of our newsletter.

As winter approaches, it is also time for festivals and holidays. Many of you may have had a lot of fun during Navratri, Durga Puja and Dussehra, and there is still more to look forward to as Diwali, Bhai Dooj and even Halloween is just around the corner.

At Curious Times, we hope that you have been keeping up with all the important things happening around the world. We have shared with you all the important news around climate change, the United Nations General Assembly, ongoing Hong Kong protests, latest news about space, nature and science and of course, Nobel Prizes for 2019. You would have noticed that our weekends are also full of feature articles on passion professions, travel destinations, food, health, inspiring leaders.
