Eshwari Stories for kids in Telugu Suno India As a mother and now as a grandmother, I like telling moral stories to children. But I believe moral stories should also evolve with time. For today's children, we should educate them about their environment around them in a way that they can relate with. For instance, stories of kings and kingdoms might not necessarily be relevant anymore. New stories need to be told in a new style. This podcast is my attempt at making stories interesting and relevant at the same time. You can find my original writing on www.eshwaristories.com Golpo | Stories From Around the World Rituparna Ghosh Golpo is the Bengali word for stories. It is a curious little word, both a verb and a noun at the same time. As a child Rituparna would insist on two stories and two songs every night. She would pretend to go off to sleep testing her parents to see if they'd finish the story they started to tell. When her grandmother told her stories she would kick her legs in the air fighting sleep before it wrapped her in.Golpo, the joy of oral storytelling returned to Rituparna's life as a mother. From a visual storyteller she discovered the magic of the spoken word all over again. Now a Performance Storyteller, Trainer, Consultant & Coach Rituparna is the Founder of ** *Your Story Bag* ( http://www.yourstorybag.com ) *.*Rituparna believes that stories bridge people & telling stories creates a shared experience. So whether you listen to these stories in the classroom, boardroom or living room, each of these stories will trigger conversations amongst people.
