Meet Rifa … curious, courageous, and a tad mischievous. One moment she’s knee-deep in real life adventure (and a bit of trouble); the next she’s learning lessons that last a lifetime and quietly shape her values. Together with her brother, cousins and friends, Rifa has many experiences that test their wits and capture our imaginations, highlighting the joys of growing up in sun-dappled and often rainy days in a quaint hill station set in the 1950s.
