There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about ...

The vibe, the support and the camaraderie was infectious at .misf

When you get to experience, learn, interact and grow with a like minded lot; an ecstatic feeling is what you come away with.

Due to my schedule I couldnt be there all days however I felt grateful and humbled to have attended two super workshops on Day 1 by and .

Cherry on the cake... meeting one of my teachers whose workshop way back in 2015 taught me the many nuances of spatial awareness during storytelling. Thank you Maam was a pleasure meeting you once again.

A bigger cherry on the cake was my dear friend FaithMark Puppetry who was a teller at the festival. Her storytelling with puppets is one of a kind and am so proud.

To all the storytellers involved at this festival .. God bless and may we continue to grow and support each other as a community.

Kudos to the team at Mumbai Storytellers Society .venkatraman
and the countless hands and minds that worked tirelessly to make this event a success.

THE POWER OF STORIES

A roomful of eager faces all waiting to be taken to the enchanted world of STORYTELLING and PARENTING.

AND what a ride we had. From learning the why and the how to sharing personal stories it was exhilarating.

The cherry on the cake ....

When a trainer in the audience comes up and says 'Thank you, this was one of the best sessions I've attended in a while' .

This is surely the enchanted, powerful and exciting world of STORYTELLING.

Thank you to the Family Cell and Kids Alive Ministry of Our Lady Of Immaculate Conception Church - Borivali, Mumbai for the opportunity.

When you feel like quitting think about why you started......

GAPPA GOSHTI 2 felt surreal. After Season 1 I was elated when I closed at over 20 registrations for this very special topic on 'GIRLS AND THEIR DADS'.

As the day approached and in the morning of the event many said they wouldnt be able to make it. Dejected nevertheless we went ahead and told our stories to a close and dear audience and my oh my .....what a rollercoaster we went on....

Thank you Vanessa Essaki Jyoti Dasgupta for sharing selflessly and with vulnerability...you gals touched a chord and how....

Happy birthday dad ...

GAPPA GOSHTI 3 here we come.....
