Folks & Tales: STORY SLAM at Rumor Mill, Chandigarh

About the event

In case you were wondering what happened to our regular month-end Meetup, it's here! A STORY SLAM this time. Which means you get to wow your audience with your story and walk away with prizes.

 The theme for the slam is Wise Fools, in keeping with the World Storytelling Day celebrations. Tell a story that is dedicated to the ignoramus who lives life by disregarding the rules, but ends up being crafty, learned one. Mulla Nasruddin, Suppandi, Forrest Gump...these are your clues. It could also be your very own tale of being foolishly wise. Or wisely foolish. Whatever it is, we'd love to listen to you.
