Learning and Creativity,\u00a0fondly called LnC,\u00a0is your one stop resource for all that is associated with encouraging learning and creativity in children, teens and even adults.<\/p>

Learning and Creativity,\u00a0founded in 2013, is focused on encouraging learning and creative pursuits in everyone (from kids to adults) who is passionate about enhancing his\/her knowledge and creative output.\u00a0The idea is to encourage people to share their hidden talents \u2013 such as writing poetry, short stories, musings, travelogues, or sharing their creative artwork or photography.<\/p>

In the year 2015,\u00a0Learning and Creativity\u00a0joined hands with the prestigious\u00a0Silhouette Magazine<\/a>, the 15 year old cinema and allied arts magazine based out of Kolkata. Silhouette\u2019s much appreciated critical and analytical features on cinema built their own independent space on the LnC site.<\/p>

Together\u00a0LnC-Silhouette, the twin magazines dedicated to literature and cinema have become an acclaimed\u00a0 online platform for writers, scholars, critics, artists, poets and others.<\/p>

Our dream had first taken shape in the form of a hugely popular literary website named Meghdutam.com launched way back in 1999 by Partho Mondal<\/a>.\u00a0Meghdutam\u00a0had become a very popular and dynamic platform of budding writers, poets, critics and child artists.<\/p>

A lot of the excellent and original stories, poems, books and film reviews, writer\u2019s tools, children artwork\u2026 etc., that you will find in\u00a0Learning and Creativity\u00a0has been sourced from the erstwhile\u00a0Meghdutam.com, published between 1999 and 2003.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
