Paromita Laskar: ‘My Simple Being’, a delightful fable, is a transformative odyssey of two songbirds M and T. At its heart, the story revolves around T’s evolution from a timid and silent bird to a powerful being, guided by the mystical mentorship of M.
T, initially confined by her limitations, one fine day dares to fulfill her aspirations to explore the heavens, purely on her guidance to not settle for less. Encouraged by M’s unwavering support and profound insights, she begins to tap into a wellspring of inner strength and connects to a deeper space within the heart. As she passes many tests amidst all her challenges, she forges a path toward her authentic self with Divine grace.
