Once upon a time, not so long ago, in June 1998, it rained heavily.Three teachers hurried to take shelter under a grand old banyan tree. The rain didn't seem to stop.At first it was a casual chat about the weather and childhood memories of the rain.And later the conversation drifted towards the concerns relating to education.Why is teaching a monotonous exercise? What really makes the child interested in a subject?Do we have a role to play? There was a pause. Why not storytelling?Can we as teachers make a difference to evolve a more exciting curriculum, through stories?Can we extend it to the underprivileged children, in the same manner?The rain had stopped and the questions seemed endless.The banyan tree stood witness to a new thought process evolving under its shade.And that was just the beginning of a long journey…Over the next few months, the group met more frequently to crystallize their thoughts into action.They called themselves ‘Kathalaya ~ The House of Stories'.
