About PAPARA MITTAI

Stories!!!!!!!! The very word brings back memories of us, as kids, lazily lying in our granny's lap, rapt with attention, listening to her engrossing narration of a popular bedtime story. Here comes PAPARA MITTAI, a collection of familiar stories, retold musically. The title is suggestive of the yester year attractive pink, sugary, stretching candy, which we adults have relished in our childhood. The candy- seller blowing ‘pappara’ on his sound horn was a creative genius who would make us a watch or a small puppet out of the candy, in a matter of seconds, and we always ended up in an open- mouthed admiration for the deftness of his fingers and his creative ability.

The candy, now a rarity even in villages, is symbolic of the slowly vanishing art of story- telling to our children. Kalanjiyam, in an effort to tap up the dormant creative and imaginative skills in children, has produced PAPARA MITTAI, using children. Narrated in a simple and clear style, by a child, these stories are both entertaining and educative. The use of animal characters and music makes the narration more interesting, to listen to. The songs, sung by children, have easy to follow lyrics and tunes.

Through Pappara mittai we intend to stress the importance of a child developing its imaginative / creative mental abilities. 

Just as children relish the taste of the mittai, juicy sweet candy, we hope they will listen, enact and relish the stories on this album.
