Keep writing, just like anything else in life, practice makes perfect.
Aparna Suresh currently lives in Bangalore with her Entrepreneur husband, Jerry and their two children - Dhruv and Diya - who at 10 and 8, continue to amaze, excite, exhaust and fill her heart with pride and joy. Long road trips, lazy Sunday afternoons, marathon movie sessions, cooking gourmet food are just some of the things she and her family enjoy doing together. She has always wanted to be a writer and kept journals from the time she was 12. Her first short story was about her pet cat, Trini. She believes that if you have a story to tell, you should write it down and maybe, somewhere, somehow a little fairy would grant you your wish and a new book would be born.
