My homeland is India, far, far away from where I live
today. I raised my children here and I really wanted to have them hear some
of the stories that my mother and grandmother used to tell when I was a
little girl. We have tried to give a glimpse into the world of stories from
where I was born and brought up - stories of castles, long journeys, brave
heroes and heroines, stories from the great epics Ramayana and Mahabharata,
tales of great and learned Indians as well as fables and family tales. We
felt that there was a need to preserve and share these tales from a faraway
country with generations to come and hope that many readers and listeners may
get a flavor of India and will be transported into that
world through their imagination.
