A timeless story for children and for grown-ups who love listening too.

This special episode is a personalised story created to celebrate Siddharth’s seventh birthday. Set in a familiar Mumbai apartment building, the story follows an ordinary evening that turns unexpectedly tense, and the courage it takes to help someone else feel safe.

When a small moment becomes frightening, Siddharth discovers that bravery does not always mean fixing the problem. Sometimes it means staying calm, noticing others, and offering reassurance when it is needed most. It is a story about empathy, presence, and the power of small actions during big feelings.

Created especially for Siddharth, this birthday story is meant to be returned to. A reminder that growing up is not just about getting older, but about learning how to be steady, kind, and thoughtful in the world.

This episode is perfect for bedtime, quiet time, or a birthday listen shared with family. If you are looking for personalised children’s stories, meaningful birthday stories for kids, or gentle storytelling rooted in everyday life, this one is for you.
