The Unputdownable Story™
Your exceptional story, brilliantly told!
This program offers an opportunity to have your unputdownable story on your remarkable journey written masterfully.
What is this program about?
This is a beautiful new offering from the happynesswalas™, Vaani and AVIS.
Vaani and AVIS are expert writers and biographers, speakers and conversationalists. They are amazing storytellers. They will curate and present your story – masterfully, as a written article, in a credible, objective and factual manner.
Why is this program important – and relevant?
Over the past two decades, credible, objective writing has become rare. Additionally, established writers cite editorial boundaries and restrictions, set by media houses, as reasons for why they are unable to tell good stories that must be told. Therefore, people, organizations and brands are not able to have authentic and complete stories written about themselves.
This program offers an opportunity to have your exceptional story, written and told brilliantly!
What does this program offer?
This program is designed to be simple, sharp and focused.
It delivers a sharply written, 2,000-word article (which is a 7-minute read), in English, on your journey, idea, organization, initiative or brand. The article will be hosted on www.thehappynesswalas.com. This will lend it credibility and objectivity. You may, of course, share the story/a link to the story on your website.
This story will be written based on a three-hour interview that the happynesswalas™ will have with you.
Vaani and AVIS are powerful storytellers
They write. They deliver inspiring talks. They host world-class conversations. They invest their every waking hour in distilling lessons on Life and Happiness from human stories - and in sharing them with audiences that care to pause and reflect. Their Life’s purpose is Inspiring ‘Happyness’™!
Vaani and AVIS were both in the media industry early on in their careers.
AVIS has worked with The Indian Express, India Today, Businessworld and Business Today. At The Indian Express, AVIS wrote a very impactful and popular column called Suburban Orbit. This column carried in-depth, investigative stories on the serious lapses in civic administration in the suburbs of Chennai (then Madras). In 1989, AVIS won the Vigil Award and the Junior Chamber International’s National Outstanding Young Person Award for this column. At India Today, AVIS co-wrote the cover story on Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination in May 1991. He and India Today’s photographer Shyam Tekwani were the only two journalists who traveled on the special plane that carried Rajiv Gandhi’s body from Chennai to New Delhi on the morning of Wednesday, May 22, 1991. AVIS’ coverage of the events that led to the assassination and of the assassination itself were sharp and exclusive. Also, when he was based in Kerala with India Today, AVIS wrote powerful human-interest features. One was on the broken lives of the people working in the state’s thriving bamboo industry. And the other was on the women of Aruvacode, a village near Nilambur in North Kerala. These women were being driven to join the sex trade to earn a living. This story led to constructive action from Kerala’s women and social welfare department. A development program was initiated that led to the whole village being transformed. The women were taught pottery. AVIS’ story and the government intervention that followed have had a profound, long-lasting impact: Aruvacode today produces some of the finest pottery and terracotta works in India. While at Business Today, AVIS contributed significantly to the magazine’s strategy, leadership and startup sections. He wrote in-depth stories profiling renowned founders and CEOs of Indian business houses.
Vaani has written evocative, human-interest features for The Times of India, Verve magazine and The Economic Times’ supplement, Madras Plus. Although she has profiled both celebrities and unsung people, she has always focused on talking about what made each of them human. She has had the unique opportunity to interview both Vani Ganapathy and Kamal Hassan. The celebrity couple had separated by then. Meeting them individually, Vaani dealt with their choices and journeys with sensitivity and dignity. Such empathy was – and still is – rare in the media world.
Vaani and AVIS are writers committed to telling only genuine, authentic stories that need to be told. And they tell them very, very well.
Two of AVIS’ books – Fall Like A Rose Petal and Uthirum Roja Ithazh Pola – are presently available on Amazon. ‘fabulous. brilliant. loveable.’ is Vaani and AVIS’ latest book. Read more about it here.
