The birth of a prince in medieval India was usually followed by grand celebrations. Camped out in the wilderness when the news of Akbar's safe delivery reached him; Humayun could only enjoy a quiet moment of thanksgiving. He broke a musk pod and as the fragrance wafted all over the camp; the new father hoped his son's fame would similarly spread across the world.Akbar-emperor; warrior; statesman and thinker-is acknowledged as one of the most charismatic personalities in Indian history.
Kavitha Mandana grew up in parts of the Nilgiri hills where telephones and TV did not exist.
After an idyllic and undisciplined schooling in Ooty, and a degree in English Literature from Coimbatore, she got into a fairly unliterary career as an advertising copywriter in Bangalore. It took a chaotic six years working print, TV and radio commercials for her to discover she liked writing and illustrating for kids.
She writes regularly in the children's supplement of the Deccan Herald. HEr work has also appeared in Chatterbox and Toot magazines. Tenali Raman (Puffin) was her first historicl novel for kids.
