Pazhamudircholai – Where Avvaiyar Learnt Humility
Avvaiyar – She Sacrificed Beauty and Youth “I don’t know how much longer I can continue living this life of a balladeer.”
Hi.. I am Ratna Prabha
Thank you for visiting my website. Here I write stories to entertain, and maybe ponder a wee bit, which means simplicity is at the core of every tale. That’s why the name Stories Made Simple. While love for retelling mythologies is huge, I cannot stop myself from using my pen to knit all kinds of yarns, digging deep into a rich repertoire of experiences, both from my personal and professional world.
