हर कहानी,
एक सीख।

Sacchi kahaniyan. Hindi mein. 90 second mein.

Lottery jeetne waale khush kyun nahi rehte? Hanoi mein chuhe maarne ka inaam ulta kyun pada? Ek akele aadmi ne pahaad kaise kaata? I find stories like these, check every fact, and tell them in my own voice.

A note from me

I started 1Kahani because the best stories I know are true ones: a scientist's odd experiment, a farmer who didn't give up, a king who lost to a grain of rice. I write each one, record it myself, and check every number against its source before it goes out.

The coloring books came later, from the same wish: a few calm minutes away from the screen.
