Ranjeeta Raam grew up in a small town in Kerala, India, wishing she could find a way to jump into the pages of her favourite books and become part of those fascinating worlds. As an adult, she worked in different areas of writing, leaving her last job as a scriptwriter to become a full-time novelist. Ranjeeta loves novels in verse and believes in the economy of words to tell a powerful story. Writing brought her close to her culture and she hopes to bring out those aspects of it that are lesser known. If Elephants Could Talk is her first novel. She currently lives in Dubai with her husband, two daughters and two cats. Find her at ranjeetaram.com and @ranjeetaraam.

“When grown-ups tell you 'what to do?'
you are made to think there's no solution.
That there's nothing to do
but to keep doing what's always been done.”
Ranjeeta Raam, If Elephants Could Talk

“Letting words out,
saying them out loud
would lighten the pain,
lighten my sorrow,
make me happy again.
I will stop missing Amma,
stop loving her.

No . . .
that will never do.

So I lock them within me,
afraid to open my mouth
lest the hurt, the love, the memories
fly and fade away
like birds on the horizon.”
Ranjeeta Raam

“If elephants could talk,
they would narrate tales of
pain
suffering
and bondage.

If they could speak,
they would ask for freedom from
hunger
isolation
and loneliness.

Yes, if they could,
they would ask to return to
their homes
their families
the wilderness
away from humans and their chaos.

But they can't.
So I must.”
Ranjeeta Raam, If Elephants Could Talk
