In this episode of The Literature Lounge, we meet Jairam N Menon, author of Masala Chai for the Soul. After decades in corporate communications, Jairam turned to writing—using humour and wisdom to craft stories that comfort, entertain, and heal.
He reflects on the influences that shaped him—his father’s love for books, the encouragement of friends, and the art of weaving humor into even life’s most serious moments. At its heart, his work is a reminder that laughter is resilience, and stories are companions through both chaos and calm.
If you’ve ever found strength in a smile or solace in a story, this conversation is for you.
