Shweta Brijpuria

Shweta Brijpuria hails from the city of lakes – Bhopal. As a didi to her younger siblings, she grew up to be quite disciplined. She was scared of Math, but loved to write to the extent that even a difficult formula could be converted to couplets. She was close to her father who instilled a fire in her to be different, he told her interesting stories about her great grandparents that inspired her to make a mark herself. ‘Marketer by profession, but a poet at heart’ is how she describes herself.
Having authored two novels, she has learnt to accept the challenges life throws at us with grace and courage. At first, it was hard to believe, but now she knows the stories of our lives are already written and we are merely playing our parts. The irony we are made to believe is that one has the liberty to navigate through their story at their own will, but that is where the conflicts begin and so does their story.
This realisation has made her fall in love with life and people more than she ever had before. She is all set to further explore life, writing and living; for there are no endings in a story, just beginnings of new chapters.
