Balakarthiga is the author of Kadamba Vana Priya, Mathurapuri Chronicles, Butterfly Met Hurricane, Schezwan Jalebi, and The Tales and Musings of a Small-Town Girl. Born and raised in Madurai, her hometown remains the heart of her storytelling.

An NIT Trichy graduate, she balances life as a Product Marketer in the SaaS industry by day and a writer by passion. Her biggest cheerleaders? Her parents, Hema and Muruganantham, who have proudly championed every word she’s ever written.

She lives her own happily-ever-after with her college sweetheart, now husband, and their two wonderful kids. When not writing, she can be found savoring filter coffee, parotta, and tender coconut payasam.

And voila, I can write again!

Coffee + Rahman = Solution to all challenges in life. (less)

The passion.

You know that you have a purpose, and you feel driven by ambition.

Creativity is magic, and you get to feel how amazing it is to conjure plots, characters, and stories out of thin air - you're something very close to a sorcerer and that, in my opinion, is pretty cool. (less)

We often wonder about the origin of the universe. Where do we come from? Where are we going?


[image error]


To answer that, we need an understanding of discrimination and the human mind. Our mind makes us believe that we live in a world of duality.


But the truth is this: there is this perceived world, and there is also this underlying essence.
