After Retirement hobbies-4
All my life
I habe been voracious and compulsive reader. I started reading books
when I was ten years of age . This made
me a story teller of great repute to children. Atl east 6 of those children who
were pestering me for stories are members
of face book. During one of my
trips to USA ,when I was reading fairy tales of Grimm, suddenly I recollected several stories that I knew, which reflected the Indian
culture. I started typing them all. Then
I recollected that I was greatly dissatisfied by the western rhymes that were
being taught to our children. I started
writing rhymes similar to
them from the Indian angle
and also started collecting
rhymes from Indian languages that I knew.When I came back , my
daughter designed a web site to put all my work .She wanted me
to write small stotras addressed to different God’s with their meaning syuitable for Hindu children. I got a brain
wave to add stories from Upanishads and
stories illustrating principles of Gita. This material was put in a web site and it was called Raja Thatha’s corner because the name I was well known in my family
circles was Raja and I had become a Thatha. This great web site brought a huge
fan following to me of children and
parents of children. Among all the works
that I have done this is became very dear to my heart. I know none of you are children but I am sure you would enjoy reading them in
