The reason is simple, the monsters may be ugly to look at but these films are made for kids so they are   never going to be blood curling scary or frightening. If you are the kind of person who wants to watch horror films but can’t, a good place to start is watching animation horror films like Monsters At work or the Hotel Transylvania series. There are always exceptions to the rule like Coraline or Monster House. The good part about Monsters At Work is that it is a TV series and Disney+Hotstar has just dropped two episodes in Season 1. The 24-minute animation is simple and mindless to watch and the toddlers will love it since there are plenty of scenes that will make them laugh and the adults will smile. The monsters here are cute even if they come with one eye or five, look like a snail or have large sharp teeth or for that matter even if they have large horns to scare the heebie-jeebies out of you if they actually existed ,<=#:<;-',. ,:,;;,+. in real-life. -,+:)+>,<,:?@ But here, they are screw-ups and can no longer scare kids. Their tagline — We Scare Because We Care — gets changed to It’s Laughter We’re After. This, of course, brings in plenty of fun moments — both for the monsters who don’t know how to make others laugh and the tiny tots watching them blunder their way ahead. L   *

The teacher somehow manages to stop it andY remove the responsible ID from the session. Just when everyone thought they are out of that uncomfortable situation, a random person joins in again and plays another such video.

nown as the ‘Train Man of India’, Sudhanshu Mani, the author of My Train-18 Story, led the project to design and manufacture the first ever Ksemi-high speed modern train of India, the Train 18 — now in service as Vande Bharat express within the Indian Railways network system. Sixth publication by this IRSME Railway Officer, the book chronicles his last 29 months as a government servant heading the famous Integral Coach Factory (ICF) of Indian Railways (IR) at Chennai. On the face of it, the book appears to be a narrative about how a train was con- ceived and built. But it is much more than that.
