Introducing The Storyteller

“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.” ― Philip Pullman

For as far back as I can remember, I have loved stories. I love reading, writing and telling stories. I remember watching movies, then keeping my friends enthralled with a retelling of the stories I liked, adding my own mirch masala and interpretation to what I saw.

My favourite kind of stories are those that centre around relationships. I love stories that explore human relationships, highlight emotions and let you get into the head of the character you're reading about. At the same time, I attribute the characters with my own sensibility. Which is why I tend to have extreme and emotional reactions to the characters I read about. I've fallen in love with Mr. Darcy. I've hated Scarlett O'Hara. I feel I am Elizabeth Bennett. I love that my stories let me BE the characters that I imagine. To be so many different people, to experience myriad lives....all of it in one lifetime.

My very first story on this blog is a first for me in this genre - A love story. I'm not quite sure how it will shape up. I hope to make it a story that you could relate to and fall in love with.

So if I've piqued your interest in me and this blog, come back here in two days time and you will be able to read the first chapter of the story.
