My Story
People say when you’re ready, the teacher shows up. For me, 27 years back, the message was simple: ‘You are a Storyteller.’ Been at it for 45 years now. Not always easy, sometimes I wonder—why keep going? Then someone walks in, like the principal with knee surgery, and her grit gives me my answer. I get nervous still, even at IIM Bangalore. But once the stories start, magic happens. Stories in every tongue, sometimes I’ll sing a Bengali line, or begin in Kannada. It’s not just fun—stories help you find your own Anthardhwani, your voice inside all the noise.
My Work
What We Offer - Storytelling performances, heritage tale walks, certified storytelling courses, workshops for parents, teachers, corporates, and masterclasses for caregivers, online and offline.
Our Way - We use puppets, masks, movement, rhythm, music—sometimes you’ll sing, sometimes just listen. It’s all about play and creativity.
Why Join Us - It’s not just stories. You leave with experiences, active listening skills, and maybe a bit closer to your own inner voice.
Who Can Join - Parents, teachers, professionals, or anyone wanting to grow, connect, or just get lost in stories.
