Did you know that palanquin bearers had their own chants? Also, did you know that the first train in Mumbai went from Bori Bunder to Thane, with a stop in Sion (then Watershed station)? All this and more is in store at Transport Tales, a storytelling session for children, this weekend.

Sherline Pimentaof Kathanika, inspired by the museum exhibits at Dr Bhau Daji Lad City Museum, will take listeners through these two modes of transports and the stories that surround them. "I will talk about not just these events (the first train in Mumbai), but speak of the stories behind them," says Pimenta explaining that her method involves extensive research into the subject followed by an interactive format.
