So, my hosting service urges I update my about page so all you readers know more about me and mine. So here goes:
The Wag is actually Hema Vaidyanathan, current hausfrau and PhD in biochemistry/cell biology. With my husband and two children, I exist in Bern, Switzerland and when I am not travelling or eating fondue, I am writing this blog. I am also an dancer/performer of Indian classical dance. I love to read anything I can get my hands on and will listen to any kind of music. When I have my novel ready I will also let the world know about it…
Amma’s Tales is a blog based on remembrances from my family of tales about Indian mythology. They are stories passed down at least three generations. Some are my original creations. All of them have been reimagined/retold by me. I hope you have as good a time reading them as I do writing them down. Please do not plagiarize and these are my copyright. If you would like to use any of these for public consumption/distribution, it’s easy enough to contact me for my permission.

Hi Hema, the stories are pretty good and I liked the one about Chapattu Rama… I was not aware of this one, though I have heard of quite a few stories on Indian mythology. I was not aware that you are in Switzerland now… hope you are having a great time there.
