Chitra Mukherjee

I come from a family of story tellers. I have been listening to stories from my grandmother, my aunts and my mother for as long as I can remember. Stories of wily old women who rode pumpkins to hoodwink hungry wolves, stories of children who stole from witches and many more. My father wrote stories too and I remember Sunday afternoons spent listening to them. His were dark ones that enticed you in and I remember thinking this is how I want to write. It was his passion to write and it is mine too. I am still honing my craft but I do know that this is what I want to do..tell stories. So come gather around me, sip your cuppa and let's begin.
