Description
Once there was a storyteller who was out of work. He didn’t know how it happened-but he no longer had anyone to tell his stories to.
But luckily for Kahani Bhai (also called Bhai K), he finds the best audience in the world-the winning team of friends, Nasira, Gopal, Akbari, Veer, Dulari and Ram. And like magic, or like the kahaniwala he really is, all the old stories crowding Bhai K’s mind, all the happy, clever and funny faces-of Tenali Raman, Naseeruddin Hodja, Gopal Bhar, Birbal-Change into people he knows. Knows as well as the children sitting around him, in the city he lives in, near the villages and towns he has seen with his own eyes.
