Writing keeps me sane. I am actually happy when the words are doing their mystical dance on the laptop screen. -Anuja Chandramouli
Indian mythology is a treasure trove of stories that have been passed down through generations. These stories, filled with heroes and villains, gods and demons, and intricate plotlines, offer a window into the past, while also providing valuable life lessons that are still relevant today. Author Anuja Chandramouli is one such writer who has mastered the art of re-introducing these mythological characters to modern-day readers.
In a recent interview with Storizen, Anuja Chandramouli discussed her passion for Indian mythology and the inspiration behind her latest book, Abhimanyu: A Tale of Reincarnation, Bravery, and Sacrifice.
ANUJA’S LOVE OF INDIAN MYTHOLOGY
Anuja revealed that she has always been passionate about Indian mythology. "These characters from the Itihasas and Puranas are part of my earliest memories," she said. "It may sound sappy, but the truth is I love them to the moon and back."
Anuja's latest book, Abhimanyu, is a retelling of the Mahabharata from the perspective of Abhimanyu, one of its most beloved characters. Abhimanyu was the son of Arjuna, one of the Pandava brothers, and Subhadra, Krishna's sister. He was blessed with all the strengths of his father, Krishna, and the other Pandavas, yet possessed none of their weaknesses. He was a rare hero who was every bit as good and kind as he was great.
