Talking Turtles Storytellers

Someone recently asked me .. What lights up your eyes when you tell stories ?

That quiet aha.
That shared breath.
That unspoken “I see this.”
That’s what lights up my eyes.

In When the Saree Spoke, I watched an entire room of adults lean in— not out of politeness, but because something in the story had found them.

When the laughter arrives a second earlier than expected…
When the silence deepens just enough…
When I know they’ve stepped into the story with me.

Grateful🙏🏽🫶🏼

“How do you deal with a space where you can’t see the audience’s reactions?”
A question that came up in one of my storytelling workshops recently.

On some stages, the lights are bright, the cameras are moving, and the audience sits somewhere beyond the glare. You can’t read their faces… so you listen differently. You trust the rhythm. You create pauses where participation can come alive — even if you can’t see it. And the stories and voice will travel back with the listeners!

Was surprised by this little caricature , that ChatGPT put together of my storytelling world! Love all the elements, definitely a part of my work as a storyteller and puppeteer!

Being a storyteller means carrying a library… not only on shelves, but in your voice. ✨

Two shows, one vibrant family audience, and stories crafted specially for the HindalcoVerse Family Day 🌱✨
One of the joys of being a storyteller is adapting—shaping stories for different spaces, ages, and themes. For Hindalco, the stories carried threads of sustainability, community, and mindful living—woven into puppetry and play.
Thank you .art.curry and for the warm hospitality and for trusting Talking Turtles Storytellers with your families.

✨ Stories in Varanasi ✨
What a joy it was to be part of the Inspire Series at DPS Varanasi! From sitting down with teachers and the principal to exchange anecdotes on why storytelling matters more than ever, to watching little learners light up during a story session—it was a day filled with warmth, laughter, and plenty of imagination. 🌿📖
A big thank you to the wonderful team at DPS Varanasi for inviting me and making me feel so at home. 💛
