About the Author Irregular Ver.

Arushi Raj is a full-time couch potato and a part-time writer. She has two eyes, two ears, one nose, and – what she has been told – one mouth. Do not misunderstand, she is not under the assumption that she has multiple mouths. But there is something about the mouth that doesn't feel singular to her. There is so much plurality in the mouth – teeth, lips – that it doesn't make sense to her that the mouth is singular. But alas, after over two decades on this planet, she has come to accept all of its irregularities, in language and in being.
There is not much to say about her except she likes to read, listen to music, and is obsessed with languages. She speaks English, Hindi, Japanese, French, Korean, and Swedish with varying levels of fluency. Of course, her one true love is writing and she hopes that her books can touch and inspire at least one person on this overpopulated planet.
She is not a very social-media-friendly person but she does have two public Instagram pages. Yes, irregularities. But what can she do? It's the 21st century and she has books to sell. You can check out @arushiraj_author if you want to see K-pop edits and then there is @couch_potato_author for non-K-pop-related books. She also has a Facebook Author page @arushirajauthor that she semi-regularly updates. And you can also find her on Goodreads and LinkedIn.
She is always on the prowl for some feedback. So, if you have read her books, do leave a review.
That’s all folks,
Bye-Bye ...more

Quotes by Arushi Raj (?)

“I think beyond the superficial accolades, at its core, fans stream and buy albums and merchs, because they want to show that they acknowledge the hard work of the artists and their staff. The stream count, album sales and awards are tangible proof that the idols’ music is good. That they are popular. That they are better.”
