  • Why Sudipta Dhruva believes stories are a way of life and the core of her life's purpose
    2023/11/01

    "A little bit of magic" is how Sudipta describes the story of her life. Throughout her life, she has had various opportunities to pursue her passion for stories as a career and now at 62, she remains unstoppable where she wouldn't stop telling them stories but continues to harvest them as well.

    Sudipta proudly calls herself a storyteller and a story harvester and it all began when her grandmother narrated umpteen stories about Sudipta's father. The first spark came to life when she narrated an adapted version of a tale by Khalil Gibran, and the daisy-turned-sunflower that died happily probably remains a tactile memory for many of those seventh graders!
