Pavitra was born in 1984, on a January morning in Chennai, India. Growing up, she spent her summer vacations in Kerala, spellbound by her grandmother’s fables.
She wrote her first story when she was 6 years old. It was a recounting of ‘Vikram and Vetal’. A series based on a mythological king and a vampirical spirit, that latched on to his back, demanding to be entertained with tales.
A few years later , her mother would gift her ‘1001 Arabian Nights’, a book of short stories about a Princess named Sheherzade, who would narrate stories to her king, in exchange for another day of her life being spared.
Strangely enough, this theme would show up in Pavitra’s life time and again, when her writing would pull her out of many a difficult situation.
In 2003, she moved to Singapore, go pursue Arts Management. She went on to write a critically acclaimed blog that featured South Asian visual art. She also curated a small design store in Chennai.
In 2013, she moved to USA after getting married. While in America, she indulged in her creative explorations and freelance wrote for a few publications.
In 2018, tragedy struck as her husband passed away rather suddenly forcing Pavitra to move back to India to cope with this great loss.
Back in India, she would write to heal her grief and despite enormous adversity, found magic in the mundane.
At the core of her writing, is a love for the small things, for the ephemeral, for emotion and for romance. She articulates her personal loss and her journey to rise from her circumstances in this book.
Pavitra currently resides in Chennai and is contemplating her next piece of writing, possibly a novel.
