twistntales presents award winning authors, Mini Srinivasan, Anushka Ravishankar and Sonja Chandrachud in conversation with noted theatre person Mahrukh Barucha on what our Young Adults like to read!
Mini Srinivasan

Mini Srinivasan lives and writes in Pune, where she works with teachers and children in government-run schools. She is also part of a child rights advocacy group focusing on making education more meaningful for underprivileged children. She loves to write for pre-teens +, who she thinks are smart, feisty and fun.
Anushka Ravishankar
Anushka Ravishankar is an award-winning writer and playwright. Her books include Wish you were Here, Moin and the Monster, Tiger on a Tree, Today Is My Day, among others, and several have been published internationally. She writes books that kids fight to read! “Atleast a Fish” and its sequel are the latest to add to her list.
Sonja Chandrachud
Dubbed the ‘Desi Rowling’ by the media, Sonja deftly brews up fantastical tales filled with magic, mayhem & mischief. Potion of Eternity & Pearls of Wisdom are the bestselling books in the much loved Hilarious Hauntings Adventures series. Her new YA series - DOA Detective Files takes you deep into ancient historical times where cryptic curses, mysterious murders and lost treasures beckon. “Trouble at the Taj” is the first in the series.
All of them will read from their books as well and take questions from their young readers. Inviting Young Adults, Educators, Librarians, Parents and all those keen on reading to join this interactive session.
