Literary Festivals and Book Launch Performances
I bring stories to life on stage, whether it's a bustling literary festival or an intimate book launch. Join me as we explore the magic of words together.

About Literary Festivals & Book Launches
My appearances at literary festivals are never just a reading from the page. Whether I am launching a collection like How and Why Tales or moderating a panel, I ensure every session is a dialogue. We use movement, rhythm, and sometimes even song to transform a static book signing into an immersive performance that connects deeply with both children and adults.
When you invite an author to a literary festival, you are looking for more than a lecture. You are looking for a spark. Over the last 45 years, I have moved between the roles of performer, author, and teacher, and I bring all these facets to the stage. My sessions at events like the Neev Literature Festival or Jaipur Bookaroo are designed to be sensory experiences.
I treat every book launch not as a marketing event, but as a homecoming for the stories inside. We explore the folklore, the myths, and the 'how and why' behind the writing. I weave together tales from Indian epics and world mythology to answer the curiosity of the audience, often utilizing props like Japanese Kamishibai or simple instruments to keep the energy dynamic.
I am frequently invited to keynote at festivals and institutions to speak on the power of the inner voice, or to lead interactive sessions that break down the barrier between author and reader. If you are organizing a literary event, a school assembly, or a book release, I work with you to tailor the narrative arc to fit your theme—be it leadership, heritage, or pure creative wonder. My goal is to ensure that when the event ends, your guests leave with more than just a signed copy; they leave with an experience.
