Wordsmiths @ Katha

They are the masters of the written word. Every emotion in the spectrum of the human heart; every bhaasha and dialect in the country; every experience strong, light, subtle, sublime - they capture it intact, perfection limning every stroke, and deliver it to you. They come from every region of India - from the unexplored Northeast to the fiery deserts of the West. From snowy Northern peaks, to the rolling plains of the Deccan, the tapering lands of the South. They are the wordsmiths of Katha.
