Why choose to write on Indian myths and fables?
I write on sacred stories, symbols and rituals of all cultures: European, American and Chinese, but my audiences, typically, like me to focus on India. My interest developed around 12 years ago, shortly after I had finished my medical studies. I was not interested in clinical practice and was more inclined towards medical and pharmaceutical communications (content for patients, doctors and sales representatives). This has been an organic process and one that I had to traverse alone since there is no university that actually teaches you mythology. There are courses that teach the stories like literature departments or learning about rituals in anthropology and sociology classes, symbols in art history, fine art and design classes. Freelance assignments writing on culture and religion later metamorphosed into detailed studies of myths and mythology.
