Hello, I am Vidhyaa. I am the mother of two who love stories. I worked in a senior position in the Indian insurance industry till 2021 and voluntarily quit for narrating stories which I enjoy so much! I was trained by Kathalaya‘s International Academy of Storytelling Bengaluru from where I completed my Diploma in 2022. My area of interest is tales from Bharat and I take pride in narrating Indian tales, for that is what I grew up with. The purpose of this website is to showcase these tales to the world and to the younger generation for them to pass it on. Please feel free to share all these stories and give your feedback by way of comments.
