In an era where children are captivated by screens, a 5-year-old boy from Mysuru, Atharva, is capturing attention for his unique holiday hobby: cooking. Unlike most kids his age, Atharva spends his time in the kitchen, learning culinary skills from his mother, Vidya, rather than being glued to digital devices.
Seeing his enthusiasm, Vidya encouraged him, introducing him to spices, pulses, and traditional recipes. Now, Atharva can independently prepare dishes like chapati, dosa, tomato bhaat, and pulao. His parents, who run a candle business in Mandya, are proud of his early interest in cooking and traditional pastimes.
This heartwarming story serves as a reminder of the benefits of encouraging children to explore hands-on activities that nurture creativity, reduce screen time, and offer valuable life skills.
