Pen is mightier than the sword. My school teacher’s
oft-repeated adage, stayed with me long after I left the school portals. I
believe words have the power to change. This belief guided us when we set
up an amateur theatre group in college staging plays by contemporary
playwrights in impoverished neighborhoods. And, I continue to hold on to
it in my profession.
Words transcend boundaries, build bridges across cultures and shrink
spatial differences by bringing the outside world—seen and unseen—right
inside our homes.
They anchored me as I moved within India, from New Delhi to Pune and
subsequently from there to Toronto. And with their help, my story-telling
journey continues.
