Storyteller. Storyseller.



I am a Writer. Speaker. Thinker.

Changing the world, one story at a time. Everything about and around us is a story. In a cluttered and distracted world, everybody is looking to tell a story about themselves and their brand. Each of us, looking for visibility. And I help create that visibility through the stories I tell. There is a story in the written word and in the silences of a video. No matter which story you want narrated, you have just landed on the right profile.

The devastating fall.

Pa says Chandran Ban has been on ventilator since the last 45 days. I somehow cannot bring myself to come in terms with it.I have my reservations with ventilatory support, dire ignorance perhaps. More so, because of the trauma the patient goes through- to have life and not have enough life at the same time. The report says,” Admitted with fall from height quadriplegic. Post surgical fixation C5 corpectomy and stabilisation.”

This is the life of a destitute.

I have seen an expired visa hold back life, more cruelly, death. Today, when I wish more than anything for some help, I silently wish even more that Haridas had had some documents. It perhaps wouldn’t have been so hard then. Bhaskaran Haridas was a highly reputed photographer. Like any man with dreams, he wanted to make it big, quite late though. In 2013, 62-year-old, Haridas who lived in the Mabela region of Oman with his family wanted to set up his own studio.
