Chinmayee Tripathy, an Indian born in the Millennium city of Cuttack in Odisha, currently lives in New Jersey, USA. She got married to a Software Engineer in Bangalore, after which she self-effacingly took charge of her household. She took on the role of a full-time mommy, while also pursuing a partial career as a Freelance Medical Transcriptionist. She is a thinker, and is mischievous by nature. She is strongly determined to make people laugh at her jokes, however stale and lousy they may be. This mischief in her earned her a nickname from her best friends: "Destructive Mind" or "the DM."

To Touch and to Be Touched

Books by Chinmayee Tripathy

Anurati and Ardhendu have shared a beautiful bond since their childhood days. A young and feisty girl, Anurati is forced to see the dark underbelly of life through the lens of misbehaviour by men who are lecherous and touch her inappropriately. Ardhendu remains a staunch support system for her and a keeper of her secrets: but his love for her costs him dearly. He winds up with the fear of touch. But Anurati is not one to leave the one she loves to suffer alone.

She takes up his needs as her own, and fights a lone battle that brings him out of his phobia. Everything sails smoothly, and her efforts remain a secret.

One day, the secret is revealed, and Anurati and Ardhendu now stand in a very dangerous place with respect to their relationship. Is this the end of their love?
