My India

Shreya Ramachandran describes her various Indias through a poem.

No Country for “Real” Women

Shreya Ramachandran tells us what’s problematic about portraying all women in Hindi movies as “good” women: it is lazy, inauthentic storytelling.

Departures

A scene unfolds in the Delhi international airport on an unexpectedly hot winter afternoon, and different people see it differently. Shreya Ramachandran transmits the thoughts for us in her story.

Of Women

This is the story of three women, in which one of them learns to apply Maya Angelou’s words, “I’m a woman, phenomenally phenomenal woman, that’s me.” to the other two women she knows. Shreya Ramachandran says more in her work of fiction.

Hence the Disco Lights

Anshika returns to her office after a shoot and there’s a surprise waiting for her. We bet you would want to know more. Shreya Ramachandran pens a love story representing the February 2010 theme, ‘Romance’.

Arrangements

Shreya Ramachandran discusses the tradition of arranged marriages in India through a story. Meet Anshika, a young and vibrant woman, who finds it very difficult to make up her mind about a prospective alliance found by her mother. And while Shreya takes us through her troubled mind, we also learn yet another truth – is love ever really lost in the fabric of dynamic relationships?

Cycles to the Sea

Love, innocent, free of tangles and straightforward. Here’s a simple tale of love that blossoms between Vishnu and Keerti by the shore, near the temple, when they’re on their bicycles. Short story by Shreya Ramachandran.

We the Women

What makes women unique? Here’s a poem by Shreya Ramachandran.

My Father

This is the story of Sivan, a young boy. Shreya Ramachandran spins a tale – one that when you start reading will make you think that the boy is sitting right next to you at times and taking you along, holding your hand, at others, as he tells you his story.
