Kashmir being her first love; she wrote “Catching The Fading Ray”, is a collection of folk tales from her native place. The stories are alive with the rich cultural reminiscence of the author’s formative years at her birthplace, and have left a deep impact on her personality. The book has abundant essence of Kashmiri traditions, customs, and social ethos of times immemorial.

‘The Kashmir That Was’ is a project that Avanti has fervently been working on for the past 2 years. Through this book, she aspires to bring in the forefront the golden times of Kashmir - time when Kashmir was ‘romanticised’. She is determined to tell the larger audience that there is more to Kashmir than its current reality-its rich not-so-distant past. The book ‘The Kashmir That Was’ is a collection of flash back moments where the unseen, unheard, unimagined side of Kashmir converge to reveal a new facet of the erstwhile state.

Avanti was commissioned to write stories for Om Book Publications and other academic publications. Her opinion pieces are published in Jammu based “Daily Excelsior”, “Women’s Web”, “Madras Courier”, and “Early Times”. She is a fellow at “The Way of Writing with Natalie Goldberg”. She muses on her blog “undermynose.in”.

Writing to her is an unruffled world of her own, where her creations and people come to life. She lives with her husband and two kids in the cultural cauldron of Gurgaon. She hopes to travel to the hinterlands of India to understand the people, their way of life and their socio-cultural mooring.
