Namaste, I am Pallavi Rao. Formerly a Software Engineer from Bengaluru. Currently residing in the US. I developed an interest for stories of late, after having a child, in order to narrate to him. Especially the stories of Indian origin because I love and revere India and I think there's a lot of life lessons to derive and apply in our lives through these stories. It's the only country with most diverse and rich cultural heritage, lots of history, mythology, literature and scriptures. It's the land where great philosophers, poets, reformers, thinkers, brave warriors, exceptional devotees were born. It's one of the oldest civilizations in the world which dates back to thousands of years. Hence there is a rich treasure of ultimate knowledge from the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas and the two great Epics - Ramayana and Mahabharata, that is required for everyone to learn from. May our children relish and relive the essence of India through the stories written here. Thus they would stay connected to our land and be rooted to our natives no matter where they're brought up. Hence the title 'Mitti ki khushboo', as in, essence of our land.

My motive is to extract some valuable and moralistic stories and blog them here. Narrate these stories to your children at bed time after their tedious academic schedule at school or read them for yourself.
So, here's a collection of snippets from the plethora of stories originated in the land of India. Each one has a story to relate and a moral to contemplate. A range of experiences which depict different childhoods, societies, cultures and contexts.
A moral handbook for all ages so that we remain prepared for the lessons what life has to teach us.
