Those who tell stories rule the world.
With this, we unwind the story of a 7-year old child prodigy from Mahadevi Birla World Academy Kolkata who wants to spread reading culture in India. Shanaya Singh is the youngest storyteller to perform ever on the world's no. 1 radio station The East London Radio Talking Stories UK hosted by Mr. Tony Cranston. She has been chosen as the Brand Ambassador of Namaste India Magazine for Kolkata West Bengal and is the mentor of the student council of Igniting Dreams of Young Minds. She has made her spot in America Book of Records and The International Book Of World Records.She is nominated for the Rashtriya Bal Puraskaar and holds ASIA BOOK OF RECORDS for being the youngest storyteller to narrate stories on an International platform. Not only this she also holds INDIA BOOK OF RECORDS for being the youngest storyteller.
Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today. With the flair to read books Shanaya also started to write stories. Her stories are published in the prestigious Singapore magazine 'Borderless Journal ' and she was awarded for being the author of the month in Bookosmia, a global writing platform. To reach this stage she started with participating in all school activities. Her teachers, parents, Dadi, Nani, and her mother's aunt Pushpa Nani have been her strength and core support. She with her confidence and hard work is paving her way to be a storyteller and author. But at such a young age she did fear the reaction of her listeners as to whether the audience and listeners accept her as a storyteller and listen to her. Shanaya was encouraged by the listeners and reporters which boosted her confidence and inspired her to do better. This journey started at the age of 4 years when she performed a school play. Her Principal Mrs. A Saha and all the teachers always encourage and appreciate Shanaya's work.
Shanya is an inspiration for all the young minds out there. She does not watch TV at all and spends her time reading and practicing her stories. To write a story she starts with imagining slowly and then connects with things around her to weave the web of the story. Then she jots down her ideas and makes posters. Like this, her stories take a shape. She wants the young children to stay away from the TV and utilize their time in productive activity. Shanaya wants children to start reading again and understand the importance of reading. She believes “Always try to influence others with your good quality but never get influenced by their bad qualities to carry on the chain to spread goodness and make other people also to be good.”
