The Galpa is a short story platform , driven by stories submitted by a growing community of talented storytellers. It began with the work of a 71 year old teacher - Mrs Anjali Mohapatra, also a grandmother to 3 beautiful children, who wanted to write stories from her experiences and learnings from life. Always a story teller, she taught all manners of subjects to thousands of students across a illustrious career of over two decades. Her desire to write stories began with a simple blog called Granny Tales and now has culminated in to a community platform called the Galpa - meaning a collection of stories in Oriya.
