The author is a Post graduate in Economics from University of Calcutta. She has worked for a few years with a Delhi based NGO as a research associate before moving on to a Management Consultancy Firm in Mumbai. She also holds a B.Ed degree from University of Mumbai and taught Economics under the Cambridge Curriculum. Between the two phases of her career, she took a break of 8 years to raise her two sons. It was during this phase in her life that she started nurturing dreams of becoming a writer. During her career as an educator, she encountered people from a wide range of backgrounds with opposing world views. Observing such a varied range of diverse mentalities that ranged from one extreme end of the social and religious spectrum to the other at close quarters, gave rise to an urge within her to write. She became so passionate about the idea of writing down her feelings, observations and experiences, she didn’t think twice about leaving her career to concentrate on this chosen unconventional journey of writing.
