Puppets- Kalia the Crow and Doob Doob, much loved characters from Tinkle magazine, host the show with their crazy brand of wisdom and humour. Dance and Song- Children and dancers swing to foot-tapping music while easy-to-read sub-titles ensure that the words are understood and learnt. India Section – A special section where kids discover India by visiting different parts of it along with the Jooba children. A special activity section features Sal the puppeteer who shows how easy it is to build and act with your own puppets.
