Ep-13: The Storytelling Fellow ft. Vikram Sridhar on UNSETTLING with Amrita Sukumar

Our life is a story in motion. Each moment is manifesting into the next story.  And that is what is keeping us sane during this lockdown. The coronavirus has brought us closer and given us time to indulge in a bit of nostalgia and share stories of our lives with our loved ones. But there are some people who went above and beyond and created a magical reality.  

Episode 13 is a conversation with Vikram Sridhar.  He is a storyteller by profession? 

What does a storyteller do you may ask?

He delves deep into history, finds folklore that has been forgotten, and narrates them in a way that engages his audience.

Is it only for children?

No, his stories are for young and old alike.

Does he write his own stories?

Well....to find that out, you will have to listen to the entire episode wouldn't you?

But let me tell you a small tale about today's guest and his journey:

Vikram is an Engineer and has completed his MBA. He discovered his love for storytelling when he was asked to perform for a group of children once and hasn't looked back ever since. He is an independent artist. He has also been a part of an NGO that rescues animals and that is where he gets his inspiration for most of his stories. He believes that every story can have a dual meaning, a moral for the children, and a lesson for us adults.  He is a co-founder of the theatre group Tahatto, a founding member of the Bengaluru storytelling festival and a founder member of Dum Dama Dum, Children's theatre and reading festival
