Autorenporträt
Radhakrishnan, a seasoned traveler and storyteller, hails from Mumbai, India, and has explored various parts of the country during his three-decade-long career in a petroleum company. Being fluent in six languages has enabled him to connect with people and listen to their stories. Passionate about narratives, Radhakrishnan has been exposed to a wide range of stories and their different versions throughout his travels, which significantly transformed his perspectives on life and India as a whole. His book, "Traveller's Tales Once upon a Time," set in the rapidly changing India of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, offers captivating insights into a bygone era. With a delightful touch of humor and profound insight, these stories are sure to captivate and enchant readers. Radhakrishnan's fascination with Indian mythology has led him to immerse himself in the ancient tales that have been passed down through generations. He heard these stories first from his parents and grandparents and later during encounters with many people during his journeys. These timeless stories embody the essence of India's soul, forming a living mythology in the ancient land. Radhakrishnan masterfully retells these tales, infusing simplicity and clarity while highlighting the invaluable life lessons they impart, lessons that remain relevant in the present day. After retiring from Indian Oil, Radhakrishnan now dedicates his time fully to his passion for writing and traveling. His writing style is marked by simplicity, clarity, and empathy, effortlessly presenting complex ideas in concise and understandable ways. Occasionally, his emotions spill over, giving rise to stark and minimalist poetry, where profound thoughts and ideas are beautifully etched. When not exploring India, Radhakrishnan lives in the picturesque coastal city of Cochin, Kerala, with his wife and two children. He maintains a blog titled radhawrites.com. Experience the artistry of Radhakrishnan's storytelling and embark on a journey through his vivid narratives, allowing yourself to be transported to the heart of India's diverse tapestry.
