Did you have a library in your neighbourhood growing up? If you didn't, you're not alone. Thankfully, companies are bringing reading and writing to your smartphone, making it way more accessible. In the past few years, several writers have started their careers by being published only online. Apps like Pratilipi are making reading and writing even more accessible thereby creating an equal playing field.  

This podcast is also available in Tamil and Hindi.
