When my daughter @dhwanisabesh and I wrote Paati’s Rasam, we had no idea that we will be soaking in the warmth and love of children & adults from all over the country for our book. Last week, was the announcement of the winner of the @jarulbookawards and we were evidently amidst a sea of joyful children. The ‘Children’s Choice Award’ was to be declared. About 10,000 children had voted for their favourite among the top three nominations – “Paati’s Rasam”, “Sometimes Mama Sometimes Papa” and “Giggi and Daddy”. We had these two equally brilliant books contesting for the position, alongside Paati’s Rasam. And when they finally announced Paati’s Rasam as the winner, the young audience sprang up from their seats letting out squeals of delight. Yes! Paati’s Rasam won the 2023 National Jarul Book Award. After the felicitation, I had a great time talking to children as they shared their dreams of becoming an author, spoke of how much they loved the book, and that they would love it if we could visit their school. The warmth I was receiving in these conversations was proof enough that Paati’s Rasam had won the hearts of children. In fact, there was a child who came to me during this event, wanted to hug me, and shared how she had associated the story of Paati’s Rasam to the loss of her pet. So grateful for this recognition from the National Jarul Book Awards, held at the American School of Bombay. A heartfelt thank you to the children who voted for ‘Paati’s Rasam’ and the parents, teachers, and all adults who have welcomed this book into your homes. A big thank you to @shobhavish of @karaditales, our publisher, who believed in the story! Thank you to Vaijayanthi @vay.jay who did the storyboard, & Pallavi Jain @this.beleaf our illustrator, who wove magic into the book! It has been such a gratifying journey so far with this book, and we are sure it will continue to touch more hearts globally as well. What felt more special for me is that I wore my Amma’s koorapudavai, which felt like a warm hug for celebrating our success. Swipe to see videos and pictures of us soaking in the warmth of children’s love and cheers for us.

My heart is full today. Holding this precious award in my hand that is more of an affirmation for having chosen the right direction as a storyteller. I feel extremely happy to have received the ‘Siraar Kadhai Sirpi’ award (roughly translating to sculptor of stories for children) for storytelling, from the prestigious Paavai Group of Institutions, @paavaiedu as a part of Paavai Awards 2022. Why is this moment very special? Few years ago when I decided to shift all the gears in my career into storytelling, it was difficult for everyone to be onboard. Could storytelling really be a standalone profession? Despite this big question, they strongly believed in me and my decisions. Being a storyteller is an opportunity to sow the seeds of imagination in hearts and minds. With every story shared with children and adults across age groups, I sense how the values in the stories rub off on me as a person too. In this exciting journey, as I continue to hone my skills, trust my diverse work experiences, and be committed to the process that unfolds, I owe a lot to the self-made woman in the picture (swipe right) my Athai who is my cheerleader at all times. In fact when I wanted her to pose with the award for a photo, the joy and pride she expressed for me was matchless. A big thank you once again to @paavaiedu Paavai Group of Institutions, Founder and Chairman, Shri Natarajan Varadappan sir, Smt. Mangai Natarajan ma’am (correspondent), and @avantinatarajan (Director, Student Affairs) for felicitating me with this award and recognizing storytelling as a powerful transformative art form. Elated to have received the award from Padma Shri Dr. Sirpi Balasubramaniam sir, a renowned Tamil writer, and poet, and also shared the awards stage with luminaries from various fields. An award is always a gesture of appreciation that fuels us to do more. So here’s a promise to myself, to touch more and more hearts through stories. Swipe further to see more moments from the event and the pride in Athai’s face as she celebrates the special moment with me. #storyteller #gratitude #award #journey #believing #maajanaki

With every story shared with children and adults across age groups, I sense how the values in the stories rub off on me as a person too. In this exciting journey, as I continue to hone my skills, trust my diverse work experiences, and be committed to the process that unfolds, I owe a lot to the self-made woman in the picture (swipe right) my Athai who is my cheerleader at all times. In fact when I wanted her to pose with the award for a photo, the joy and pride she expressed for me was matchless. A big thank you once again to @paavaiedu Paavai Group of Institutions, Founder and Chairman, Shri Natarajan Varadappan sir, Smt. Mangai Natarajan ma’am (correspondent), and @avantinatarajan (Director, Student Affairs) for felicitating me with this award and recognizing storytelling as a powerful transformative art form. Elated to have received the award from Padma Shri Dr. Sirpi Balasubramaniam sir, a renowned Tamil writer, and poet, and also shared the awards stage with luminaries from various fields. An award is always a gesture of appreciation that fuels us to do more. So here’s a promise to myself, to touch more and more hearts through stories. Swipe further to see more moments from the event and the pride in Athai’s face as she celebrates the special moment with me. #storyteller #gratitude #award #journey #believing #maajanaki
My heart is full today. Holding this precious award in my hand that is more of an affirmation for having chosen the right direction as a storyteller. I feel extremely happy to have received the ‘Siraar Kadhai Sirpi’ award (roughly translating to sculptor of stories for children) for storytelling, from the prestigious Paavai Group of Institutions, @paavaiedu as a part of Paavai Awards 2022. Why is this moment very special? Few years ago when I decided to shift all the gears in my career into storytelling, it was difficult for everyone to be onboard. Could storytelling really be a standalone profession? Despite this big question, they strongly believed in me and my decisions. Being a storyteller is an opportunity to sow the seeds of imagination in hearts and minds. With every story shared with children and adults across age groups, I sense how the values in the stories rub off on me as a person too. In this exciting journey, as I continue to hone my skills, trust my diverse work experiences, and be committed to the process that unfolds, I owe a lot to the self-made woman in the picture (swipe right) my Athai who is my cheerleader at all times.
