The Stories We TellLittle People Big Dreams - Maya Angelou and Audrey HepburnHello my lovely people. As I mentioned in my episode uploaded just before this one featuring the very large, the very strong and the very lazy lion Shanumugam, I’ve been on a trip down memory lane today, going through the hundreds of recordings on my phone and happened to stumble upon these two absolutely inspiring and heartwarming stories that form part of the Little People Big Dreams series. This series was created by the fantastic Isabel Sánchez Vegara to celebrate little girls with dreams who became women with great vision. From designers and artists to scientists, all of the...2020-06-2813 min
The Stories We TellSnoring Shanumugam - Radhika ChadhaHello hello small and big humans! Hope you’re well and have had a good weekend :-) I was rummaging through all my old audio recordings and stumbled upon this one from a long long time ago or as Anikka used to say when she was very small - long time back ago 🥰🥰 Sigh, how time flies ...... So this lovely little story that has been told, retold and rehashed in many ways and many Indian languages is about Shanmugam the lion who is of course be the king of the jungle but all he does is sleep. Worse, he snores in a pec...2020-06-2809 min
The Stories We TellRuskin Bond - The Hidden PoolHello hello wonderful folks and folklets! Hope you’ve been enjoying the hot spell of sunshine 🌞 I know it might be too warm for many of you but for me, this is probably exactly where my Indian bones want to be now as I think of home and the familiarity, warmth and love it holds. Only fitting then that I take this opportunity to share my first full audio book, The Hidden Pool written by who other than Ruskin Bond, the master story teller who evokes such intense emotions and vivid imagery with one fell swoop of his pen. The Hidde...2020-06-261h 32
The Stories We TellGood night stories for Rebel Girls - Elena Favilli and Francesca CavalloHello wonderful earthlings! Hope you’re well and enjoying each day that presents itself in the best way possible 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤗🤗🤗💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💐💐🌞🌞This fabulously put together book is a collection of “100 tales of extraordinary women” ranging from Ada Lovelace to Rani Lakshmibai, Astrid Lindgren to Aung San Su Kyi and Katherine the Great to Malala Yousafzai, all incredible women who weren’t damsels in distress and didn’t need someone to save them.

The Stories We TellRuskin Bond - The Boy who Broke the Bank from The a Room of Many ColoursHello good folks! Welcome to another edition of The Stories we Tell!

The Stories We TellRumi for kids - What shape is an elephant?Hello hello, ye wandering book lovers! How are we today? From today, I’m going to start another series on everyday philosophy for kids by the great thinker, Rumi. Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi was born in Balkh Persia in what is now Afghanistan in 1207, that’s like mannnnnnnnnyyy mannnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyy suns and moons back !!! He was a Sufi mystic, philosopher and lover of humanity. He spent most of his life searching for divine inspiration and love. The dance of the dervish (Whirling Dervish) is said to be inspired by Rumi’s own movements in his garden as he danced in grief to mou...2020-06-1813 min
The Stories We TellRuskin Bond - Upon an old wall dreaming, The Thief and These Simple Things.Hello hello lovely peeps, it’s been a dreadfully long time but I’m back with more stories and a poem too for good measure this time. Of course I had to mark my return with the name’s Bond, Ruskin Bond (and you’ll hear some cheesy stuff in the course of the stories 🤣) which will make you chuckle :-) While one story talks about the joys of idleness and sitting upon old walls dreaming, the other that I actually recorded on Ruskin Bond’s 86th birthday last month is called The Thief and is a touching story of trust and rel...2020-06-1837 min
The Stories We TellDon’t panic Annika! by Juliet Clare BellHello hello smalls and not so smalls! Hope you’re all well and managed to soak in some well deserved Vitamin D in the sunshine xx Today’s story is special for a variety of reasons not least because the main character’s name is Annika which is why I bought the book in the first instance and although it’s spelt differently from my A’s name, it’s a wonderful message to stay calm and think of positive things in the face of a problem. I bought this book for my A when she was 3 when we regularly read it for...2020-05-1807 min

The Stories We TellHindi Stories - Gillu by Mahadevi VermaLike all of us, my childhood too was filled with stories. My earliest recollections are of my beautiful Mama telling me stories at bed time or even meal times, in her lustrous voice. My love for stories only grew steadily from then on. I devoured books outside of school. Strangely, although Mama was a languages teacher, she never forced me to read Hindi literature so it was only in school that i was introduced to that world. One of my first Hindi that will forever remain etched in my memory and be an unshakeable part of my childhood is this...2020-05-1713 min
The Stories We TellRuskin Bond - Faraway Places from the Room of Many ColoursI thought it would be appropriate to call it a night with this beautiful story, Faraway Places from Room of Many Colours. Faraway Places describes the strong desire in a young boy Anil to travel great distances to faraway ports in a steamer. At a time when we are confined to our homes (foe the greater and smaller good I know), this story of initial disappointment to be quickly replaced with hope, makes me smile even though it might be wistfully for now. And if that isn’t reason enough to listen to it, then perhaps me doing a very la...2020-04-2810 min

The Stories We TellRuskin Bond - Bitter Gooseberries from Uncles, Aunts and ElephantsIf you haven’t yet realised, you soon will, that I am a huuuuugggggeeeeee fan of Ruskin Bond. I love the simplicity of his writing and I love how he can connect almost instantaneously with the reader at so many levels! Today’s story is one that I will cherish forever - Ani and I had such a blast reading it together!

The Stories We TellThe Inimitable Ruskin Bond - A Tiger in the House and The Night the Roof blew offOne of my absolutely favouritest authors in the world, Ruskin Bond charms with his simple and lucid writing. His stories are endearing and heart warming, often laugh out loud funny and sometimes slightly scary but they never cease to keep the reader engaged making him or her fall more in love with the art of wordsmithery. In my eyes, he’s an absolute genius which is why I read sooooo many of his stories with Ani. Today’s two are different genres but I hope they will both make your heart happy. I hope you enjoy listening! Cheerio! Xx2020-04-0522 min
