BOUND TESTIMONIAL

"Thank you so much for the class, I had the best festive weekend. I came across Kuzhali Manickavel's work for the first time in the fiction appreciation class by Bound. Every time I read an unforgettable short story, I am reminded of how potent the form of the short story is."

"I attended today's class on creating podcasts. I'm way older than everyone in the class but I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed this session. I have a son who is 1 year younger than the youngest in the class. I am from the pre FM ers and when FM came I was still young and being an RJ became a dream. Then life took over but the dream never left... as I'm pretty shy to be in front of the camera. This provides such an amazing platform."

"Amazing session, Very Informative and helpful"

"Loved the class. I particularly liked the fact that Pragya took the time to assess and provide feedback for our work. That was an insightful exercise - to be able to apply the learnings then and there. "

"Classes with Pragya are an absolute delight! She creates a beautiful and safe space for all of us to interact, learn and enjoy ourselves thoroughly. I’ll surely be back for more."

"It was a great workshop! It would be fun to read everyone's comics once it's completed."
