You keep meaning to ask.
Life keeps getting in the way.
The recipe nobody wrote down. How your parents actually met. What the house in Chennai looked like before everyone left. These stories live in one person's memory — and every phone call ends before you get to them.
MyKahaani does the asking for you. Gently, one question a week, until the stories are safe.
Three steps. No apps to install.
Nothing for them to learn.
You choose the storyteller and the book.
Mum's life story. Dadi's recipes. Dad's childhood. Pick who, and what the book is about.
They get one question at a time, by text message.
Each message opens a simple page where they can speak their answer aloud, add a photo, or type. If they can send a voice note, they can do this. No downloads, no passwords.
We turn their words into a book.
Every answer becomes a beautifully written story — in their voice, first person, as if they're telling it to you across the kitchen table. Fifteen stories make a finished book.
One book. Two ways to keep it.

Made for our families.
Other memory-book services ask questions written for someone else's grandmother. MyKahaani's prompts are written for ours — arranged marriages and love marriages, tiffin carriers and train journeys, the village left behind and the city built from scratch.
