On Top Of The Globe

With a certification in early childhood education, over a decade of working with young children, and a quarter century of writing and publishing for magazines, Chitra Pillai embarked on this labor of love to inspire young children. 'On Top Of The Globe' is her maiden children's book. With insight she coaxes every child to discover what makes them tick, and steadfastly encourages them to develop their own individual, unique strengths. During the day she dedicates herself to instilling good values, positive attitudes and an optimistic outlook to young children. Simultaneously, she guides them to navigate through a regular academic curriculum. Evenings see her morphing into an adult yoga teacher. Her formal training in traditional Yoga practices enables her to impart engaging instruction across a wide age spectrum. Very naturally, this extends to her young students as well. She interweaves daily yoga sessions in her class during the afternoon, in between academic work. She is amused when her children remind her each day about this 'recharging session'; as if to validate the joys of its practice. She is mom to two sons and a highly opinionated Bichon Poo, the latter taking priority over everybody in her family. To relax, Chitra embarks on various culinary adventures, trying and testing her concoctions on her willing family, socializes, reads, writes, watches movies and sings out loud………. not necessarily in that order.
