Magical Storytelling Performances in Mumbai

It was a dream come true to be invited back to my old school to tell stories. Seeing the wonder on the students' faces and getting a standing ovation was the most beautiful gift a storyteller could ask for.

Kids can get lost in a story, even if it's not in their first language. I experienced this firsthand at Bombay International School, where I shared a Hindi tale with students who were completely enthralled.

The energy at JBCN Borivali's literature week was amazing! This is a clip of me telling an interactive story, getting the kids to guess what happens next. Their participation makes the story come alive.

Whether it's getting kids to eat their veggies or brush their teeth, stories are the oldest and most effective communication tool. Here I am at an outdoor session, using a story to teach and engage.

Telling stories in my mother tongue, Marathi, is always special. This was from the Mighty Mytho festival at the CSMVS museum in Mumbai, where I shared the story of Bhasmasur and Mohini.

A short clip from my performance at the Gaatha International Storytelling Festival. My goal at these events is always to inspire parents to go home and tell stories to their own children. If I can do that, my job is done.

The "Tapestry of Tales" at the Gaatha festival was a beautiful session weaving together stories from diverse cultures. It's always an honor to share the stage with other talented storytellers and create a mosaic of narratives.

Do you need puppets every time you tell a story? The answer is no! I've found that the magic is in the story itself and the connection you build with your voice and expressions, even with a large audience.

A truly special day, returning to my school, Shrimati Sulochanadevi Singhania School, as a storyteller after 25 years. It was a day filled with nostalgia, and it was wonderful to tell stories to children in the same uniform I once wore.
