खेमलता नेगी जी की ‘ट्रैम्पोलिन’ की सबसे पहली बात जो मेरे मन को छू गई, वह थी इसकी सहजता🫰
कहानी एक मासूम से मेले, शरारती बालक कृत और एक रहस्यमयी जोकर से शुरू होती है, लेकिन धीरे धीरे यह केवल रोमांचक बाल कथा न रहकर आत्मबोध की एक बहुत ही सुंदर यात्रा बन जाती है✨

कृत की सबसे सुंदर बात यह रही कि उसका परिवर्तन किसी उपदेश से नहीं बल्कि अपने किए हुए काम के परिणामों को समझने से होता है👌
डर, अपराधबोध, पछतावा और फिर अपनी गलती स्वीकार करके उसे सुधारने की इच्छा...इन भावनाओं को लेखिका ने बच्चों की समझ के अनुरूप बहुत आसान ढंग से दर्शाया है।
खास तौर पर जोकर का पात्र कहानी में एक दिलचस्प रहस्य पैदा करने के साथ साथ कृत के अंतर्मन का आईना भी बन जाता है🫰

‘ट्रैम्पोलिन’ शीर्षक भी कहानी के अर्थ को एक सुंदर प्रतीक देता है...की जीवन में कभी हम ऊपर उठते हैं, कभी गिरते हैं, लेकिन हर गिरावट हमें अपना संतुलन बेहतर ढंग से साधना सिखा सकती है🤞

आसान भाषा, जीवंत लेखन और चित्रों के साथ, खेमलता नेगी जी ने बच्चों के लिए एक ऐसी कहानी लिखी है जो उन्हें सिर्फ़ “सही काम करने” की सीख नहीं देगी बल्कि यह समझने का मौका भी देगी कि सही बनने की शुरुआत अपनी गलतियों को स्वीकार करने से होती है🤞

यह वाकई एक बहुत प्यारी, विचारपूर्ण और याद रह जाने वाली किताब है🫶

खेमलता नेगी द्वारा लिखित 'ट्रैम्पोलिन' एक बेहद खूबसूरत, सरल और प्रेरणादायक पुस्तक है। एक पहाड़ी गाँव के मेले के जीवंत परिवेश में रची-बसी यह कहानी 10 साल के चंचल बालक 'कृत' के इर्द-गिर्द घूमती है। माँ से मेले में जाने के लिए जेब खर्च माँगने की मासूम ज़िद्द, भाई-बहन के बीच का प्यार और छोटी-मोटी नोक-झोंक पाठक को तुरंत अपने बचपन के दिनों में खींच ले जाती है। पुस्तक में शामिल आकर्षक और जीवंत चित्र (Illustrations) कहानी को और अधिक रुचिकर बनाते हैं। सच्ची घटना पर आधारित यह किताब केवल मनोरंजन नहीं करती, बल्कि मेले के जोकर के साथ हुए एक घटनाक्रम के ज़रिए पछतावे, माफी और ईमानदारी जैसे गहरे नैतिक मूल्यों को बहुत ही सहजता से समझाती है।

[Tanishq Rajmani · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some books entertain you, some teach you something, and a few manage to do both without making the lesson feel forced. This book does exactly that.
What initially feels like a simple, mysterious story gradually becomes a much more meaningful journey about mistakes, guilt, forgiveness, friendship, kindness and learning to become a better person.

The character of Krit particularly stood out to me. His journey is not about suddenly becoming a perfect person. Instead, we see him make a mistake, face the consequences, feel the weight of what he has done, and slowly understand why admitting your mistake and trying to correct it matters. His interactions with the Joker add an interesting layer to the story, especially because the Joker is not merely a mysterious character but becomes almost like a reflection of Koot's own conscience.

I also liked how Rahul and Sona are woven into Krit's journey. Their reactions make the story feel more grounded and show how one person's actions can affect the people around them. The transformation in Krit's behaviour is gradual, which makes it more believable. The trampoline episode was one of my favourite parts. What looks like a simple childhood experience becomes a beautiful metaphor for life- sometimes we rise, sometimes we fall, but learning to maintain our balance is what allows us to keep moving forward. The conversation between Koot and his mother towards the end brings this idea together beautifully.

Another thing I appreciated is that the book doesn't simply say be good. It shows why goodness matters. Krit's decision to return the money, apologise to uncle and then help him turns a moment of guilt into an opportunity for change. The friendship that develops afterwards makes the message even more effective. The writing is simple, accessible and easy to follow, making the book especially suitable for younger readers, while the underlying lessons can also resonate with adults. The illustrations complement the narrative nicely and make the important moments more engaging.

The ending leaves you with a warm thought: life will always have its ups and downs, but maintaining your balance, accepting your mistakes and holding on to your goodness is what truly matters. A wholesome and meaningful read that combines storytelling with life lessons without losing its innocence and warmth.

क्या हो, जब आपके डर सपनों में आपका पीछा करने लगें?

खेमलता नेगी की पुस्तक ‘ट्रैम्पोलिन – एक सच्ची घटना से जन्मी कहानी’ एक रोचक, रहस्यमयी और संदेशपूर्ण कहानी है, जो बाल मनोविज्ञान को रोमांच और सस्पेंस के साथ प्रस्तुत करती है। यह कहानी दस वर्षीय कृत के इर्द-गिर्द घूमती है, जो अपनी शरारती आदतों और बिना सोचे-समझे गलत फैसले लेने के लिए जाना जाता है। लेकिन एक रात उसके सपनों में एक रहस्यमयी जोकर का प्रवेश होता है, जो उसे भय, रोमांच और आत्ममंथन से भरे एक अनोखे सफर पर ले जाता है।

कहानी की सबसे बड़ी विशेषता यह है कि इसमें डर को केवल भय उत्पन्न करने के माध्यम के रूप में नहीं, बल्कि आत्मबोध और सुधार की प्रेरणा के रूप में प्रस्तुत किया गया है। कृत का अनुभव पाठकों को यह सोचने पर मजबूर करता है कि हमारी छोटी-छोटी गलतियाँ भी कभी-कभी बड़े परिणामों का कारण बन सकती हैं। कहानी के माध्यम से ईमानदारी, जिम्मेदारी और सही-गलत के बीच अंतर समझने जैसे महत्वपूर्ण जीवन-मूल्यों को सहजता से सामने लाया गया है।

पुस्तक का रहस्यमयी वातावरण और मनोवैज्ञानिक सस्पेंस बच्चों की जिज्ञासा बनाए रखने में सहायक हो सकता है। वहीं, इसका नैतिक पक्ष माता-पिता और शिक्षकों के लिए भी इसे उपयोगी बनाता है। यह कहानी बच्चों को डाँटने या उपदेश देने के बजाय उन्हें अपने व्यवहार और निर्णयों पर विचार करने की प्रेरणा देती है।

ट्रैम्पोलिन’ केवल एक रहस्यमयी कहानी नहीं, बल्कि अपने कर्मों की जिम्मेदारी स्वीकार करने और गलतियों से सीखने की प्रेरणा देने वाली एक सार्थक रचना है। यह पुस्तक बच्चों को रोमांच के साथ जीवन के महत्वपूर्ण सबक देती है और बड़ों को भी याद दिलाती है कि बच्चों को सही दिशा दिखाने के लिए डर से अधिक समझ और संवाद की आवश्यकता होती है।

मेरी राय में, यह पुस्तक बाल पाठकों के लिए एक अच्छा विकल्प है, विशेषकर उन बच्चों के लिए जिन्हें रहस्य, रोमांच और सीख देने वाली कहानियाँ पसंद हैं। इसकी मूल सीख सरल लेकिन प्रभावशाली है—हमारे हर चुनाव का एक परिणाम होता है, और अपनी गलतियों को स्वीकार करना ही बेहतर इंसान बनने की पहली सीढ़ी है।

जरूर पढ़े♥️♥️

'ट्रैम्पोलिन' एक ऐसी कहानी है जहाँ हमें कृत नाम के एक प्यारे से बच्चे के बारे में पता चलता है। वह बहुत ही शरारती है और अपनी बहन को अक्सर परेशान करता रहता है।

एक दिन दोनों भाई-बहन का मन मेले में जाने का होता है और वे अपनी मम्मी से पैसे माँगते हैं। मम्मी कृत को थोड़े ज़्यादा पैसे देती हैं और उसकी बहन को कम। इस बात पर उसकी बहन को बहुत बुरा लगता है और वह कहती है, "मम्मी, आप हर बार इसे ही ज़्यादा पैसे देती हैं।" मम्मी उसे समझाने की बहुत कोशिश करती हैं, लेकिन वह समझ नहीं पाती।

इसके बाद दोनों मेले में अपने-अपने दोस्तों के साथ जाते हैं। कृत अपने दोस्त राहुल के साथ जाता है। राहुल और कृत अलग-अलग झूलों का आनंद लेते हैं, ख़ूब मस्ती करते हैं और आख़िर में 'ट्रैम्पोलिन' नाम के एक झूले पर जाते हैं। वहाँ उन्हें एक जोकर भी मिलता है। ट्रैम्पोलिन पर ख़ूब कूदने-खेलने के बाद, कृत उसके पैसे नहीं देता। यहीं से कहानी में एक नया मोड़ (ट्विस्ट) आता है।

क्या कृत कभी एक समझदार लड़का बन पाएगा? क्या उसे समझ आएगा कि सही और ग़लत क्या है?

कहानी के लेखक ने इसे बहुत ही बेहतरीन ढंग से रचा है। उन्होंने दर्शाया है कि हम शरारती बच्चों को कैसे सँभाल सकते हैं और उन्हें सही रास्ता कैसे दिखा सकते हैं। यहाँ सिखाने का तरीका थोड़ा अलग और अनोखा था। क्या हमें बच्चों की छोटी-छोटी ग़लतियों को नज़रअंदाज़ कर देना चाहिए या उन्हें प्यार से समझाना चाहिए? इसी बात को लेखक ने कहानी के ज़रिए बहुत सुंदरता से व्यक्त किया है।

मुझे यह कहानी पढ़कर बहुत अच्छा लगा। अगर आपको भी बच्चों की छोटी और प्यारी कहानियाँ पसंद हैं, तो आपको यह किताब ज़रूर पढ़नी चाहिए।

[Komal Kumari · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a suspenseful children's story book. The story is about a naughty ten-year-old boy named Krit. I liked the presentation of the book as well as the cover page of the book.

Now, talking about the summary, one day, Krit goes to a village fair. There, Krit and his friend Rahul see a trampoline where children are jumping and bouncing high in the air.

They also see a strange joker who is about four feet tall. He is wearing colourful clothes, has a white face, and a red nose. Krit makes fun of the joker and laughs at him in a cruel way.

Later that night, Krit has to face the result of what he did. The joker comes into Krit's dreams, and Krit's sleep becomes scary and disturbing. A frightening journey begins as Krit sees the joker in his restless dreams.

That's a beautiful story, isn't it! And what happens next, well, through this scary dream, Krit learns an important lesson about being responsible and respecting others.

If i am to talk about the moral lesson, the book clearly teaches us that every action has consequences. It tells young readers that they should always make good choices and should not hurt or make fun of other people.

The book is wonderful! It can also be enjoyed by parents and teachers.
A few major themes:-
*Consequences of Actions
*Respect and Kindness

[Ritika · Rating 5 out of 5]

📌 Trampoline by Khemlata Negi is a simple yet meaningful story that takes readers into the world of ten year old Krit, a playful and mischievous boy who often makes wrong choices without thinking about their consequences. But one night, a mysterious joker enters his dreams and takes him on a frightening journey. The usage of rich and simple language makes it easy for all age groups to understand.

📌 I loved how the story brings out the innocence of childhood through Krit’s character. His stubbornness, his love for the fair, and the little moments with his family reminded me of how we all had our own silly wishes and mischief as children. Reading this book was so much fun. The book is available on Amazon, go grab your copies now.

📌 The mysterious joker was an interesting addition because it brought a little suspense into what might otherwise seem like an ordinary childhood story. Rather than simply telling children what is right and wrong, it allows them to understand these values through Krit’s experiences. I would recommend Trampoline to young readers who enjoy stories with a little mystery, imagination and a meaningful message.

Book Review

Trampoline

Who doesn’t miss their childhood?
The age when there were no deadlines, responsibilities or endless worries just school, homework, playing with friends, summer vacations and, of course, the vacation wala mela! 🎡

Trampoline is a Hindi short story that beautifully brings back the joy and innocence of those childhood mela days.
The story follows Krit, a mischievous child who loves playing pranks. During a visit to the mela, he has a fun-filled experience but also learns an important lesson that stays with him.

What I liked is that the story doesn't focus only on the fun and excitement of the mela; it also carries a meaningful message for young readers.

The simple and easy-to-understand Hindi makes it a great read for children. The illustrations placed throughout the story make it even more engaging and can help keep young readers interested.

It can also work wonderfully as a bedtime story, especially for parents looking for short, meaningful stories for their kids.
Overall, Trampoline is a refreshing, nostalgic and wholesome little read that takes you back to the carefree days of childhood while leaving you with a valuable lesson.
Rating: 4/5

[Bindu]

Trampoline is an intriguing story that combines psychological suspense with a meaningful lesson about honesty, responsibility and the consequences of our choices.

What I found interesting is the way the story uses a child's dream to explore something children often struggle to understand: that even seemingly small decisions can have consequences. Krit's journey takes him into an unsettling world where fear becomes a way of confronting the things he would otherwise prefer to ignore.

The mysterious joker adds an eerie element to the narrative, creating curiosity about what Krit will encounter next. At the same time, the story goes beyond suspense to encourage young readers to reflect on their own actions and the importance of making thoughtful choices.

I also like that the book offers an opportunity for conversations between children and adults. Parents and teachers can use stories like this to discuss honesty, accountability and how we respond when we make mistakes, without turning the experience into a lecture.

A promising read for young readers who enjoy a touch of mystery and suspense alongside a lesson that stays with them after the story ends.

[Prasad Mahajan · Rating 5 out of 5]

There is always something deeply unsettling but profoundly moving about books based on true events and Trampoline by Khemlata Negi carries that distinct weight on every single page. Knowing the author previously wrote a massive bestseller set my expectations high, but this story completely bypassed my expectations and hit me straight in the chest.

The narrative brilliantly captures the sheer, unfiltered innocence of childhood and contrasts it against the heavy, unpredictable realities of life. It isn’t just a simple story instead it feels like an emotional freefall that forces you to confront how quickly a moment of pure, unadulterated joy can pivot into something incredibly complex.

When I finished the last page, I just sat in silence for a long time, trying to process the emotional aftermath. It leaves you with this deep, lingering ache and a sudden, profound appreciation for human resilience. The pacing is relentless and the character arcs feel so vividly real that it is hard to shake them off once you close the book. If you are looking for a Hindi read that is raw, deeply human, this is an absolute must read.

🎡 A little trip down the lanes of childhood, with a lesson hidden between the ups and downs.

Trampoline brings together the nostalgia of childhood melas, a mischievous little boy, and a mysterious Joker to create a story that's both intriguing and meaningful. What begins as a simple tale gradually unfolds into a lesson about honesty, kindness, responsibility, and learning to own up to our mistakes.

What I loved most was how naturally the story delivers its message without losing its innocence. Krit's journey reminds us that growing up isn't about never making mistakes; it's about learning from them and trying to do better. The simple Hindi and lovely illustrations make it an engaging read for young readers, while its message resonates with adults, too. And the trampoline? A sweet little reminder that life has its ups and downs, and finding our balance is what matters. 💛

A nostalgic, wholesome read that makes you miss your childhood mela days while leaving you with something meaningful to carry forward. ✨

🐥It is an inspiring Hindi narrative rooted in real life events, capturing the emotional ups and downs of human resilience.
🐥 Using the metaphor of a trampoline, where falling down only provides the momentum to bounce back higher,the story centers on a relatable protagonist navigating unexpected life challenges, emotional setbacks, and personal hardships.
🐥Rather than surrendering to despair, the central character learns to harness internal strength, turning adversity into a stepping stone toward personal growth and self discovery.
🐥It weaves a deeply touching storyline filled with authentic human emotions, vulnerable relationships, and grounded life lessons.
The characters feel remarkably genuine, reflecting the quiet struggles and silent triumphs of everyday people.
🐥 The author’s expressive Hindi prose captures the delicate balance between suffering and hope, delivering a powerful message that every setback in life is merely a setup for a higher bounce.

[Nupur · Rating 5 out of 5]

A childhood mela, a mischievous little boy and a mysterious Joker all combined; Trampoline started with a simple story that slowly turned into something more meaningful. The story followed Krit, whose careless choices landed him in a situation where he had to face the consequences of his actions. The mysterious Joker added an interesting twist and made Krit look at his own mistakes differently.

What I liked most was Krit’s transformation. He didn't suddenly become perfect, he learnt through his mistakes, about honesty, responsibility, kindness and the importance of making things right. And the trampoline felt like more than just part of the mela. It became a small metaphor for life, 'we fall, we get back up, and we learn to keep our balance.'

The simple Hindi, illustrations and short storyline made it a lovely read for children, while the message worked for adults too. A nostalgic little story with a meaningful lesson about choices, consequences and growing up.

ट्रैम्पोलिन खेमलता नेगी की एक सरल, रोचक और सीख देने वाली कहानी है। यह कहानी दस साल के कृत नाम के एक शरारती बच्चे की है। कृत अक्सर बिना सोचे-समझे गलत फैसले ले लेता है।

कहानी में मेले का सुंदर वातावरण, ट्रैम्पोलिन और रहस्यमय जोकर का वर्णन है जो काफी रोचक हैं। जोकर कृत को अपने कामों के बारे में सोचने का मौका देता है। इसके बाद कृत को अपनी गलतियों और उनके परिणामों का एहसास होता है।

मुझे कृत का बदलाव सबसे अच्छा लगा। वह अचानक अच्छा बच्चा नहीं बनता। वह अपनी गलतियों से सीखता है और ईमानदारी, जिम्मेदारी, माफी और दूसरों की मदद करने का महत्व समझता है।

जीवन में कभी हम ऊपर जाते हैं और कभी नीचे आते हैं। हमें हर परिस्थिति में संतुलन बनाए रखना चाहिए। सरल भाषा और सुंदर चित्र इस पुस्तक को बच्चों के लिए और भी आकर्षक बनाते हैं।

अगर आप एक छोटी, मनोरंजक और अच्छी सीख देने वाली कहानी पढ़ना चाहते हैं, तो ट्रैम्पोलिन जरूर पढ़ें।

Trampoline is a heartfelt story inspired by a real incident, and that element itself makes the book feel more meaningful. What caught my attention was how an ordinary-looking moment can turn into a story filled with emotions, courage and life lessons.
The book seems to have a simple yet engaging narrative, with a strong focus on the experiences of its characters. I especially liked the idea of presenting a real-life incident in the form of a story, making it easier to connect with the emotions behind it.

[Khushbu Mathur · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lovely book that teaches kids two valuable lessons-never to cheat and never to feel disheartened during difficult times. I especially liked the way the trampoline is used as an example: if you go too high too quickly, coming back down is inevitable too. It’s a simple yet meaningful way to explain an important life lesson to children.

The language is easy, kid friendly and age-appropriate, making it a great read for young kids. My 5-year-old daughter really enjoyed the book and was able to understand most of it independently.

यह एक प्यारी और सरल कहानी है, जो खासतौर पर young readers को पसंद आ सकती है। कहानी में बच्चों के लिए curiosity, emotions और imagination का अच्छा blend देखने को मिलता है।

मुझे इसकी सबसे अच्छी बात यह लगी कि कहानी को बहुत सहज तरीके से प्रस्तुत किया गया है, जिससे बच्चों के लिए इसे पढ़ना engaging और आसान बना रहता है। एक सच्ची घटना से प्रेरित होने की वजह से कहानी में एक अलग तरह का connection भी महसूस होता है।
