Varunika<\/strong> is a certified creative writing professional and the author of\u00a0 WOMEN & <\/strong>THEIR WORLD: Tales Of Love, Loss, & Survival.<\/strong> She also has an E-book THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION, to her credit.\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0Varunika has co-authored several anthologies like WRITING FOR LOVE,\u00a0 STORIES FROM INDIA Vol. 3, THE BLOGCHATTER BOOK OF LOVE, & <\/em>ALS 2023: An Anthology Of Poems & Short Stories\u00a0 published by RUPA PUBLICATIONS, UKIYOTO, READOMANIA, & ASIAN LITERARY SOCIETY respectively.\u00a0<\/p>

A testament to her literary merit is the inclusion of her story Idli Aunty<\/em> in the book WRITING FOR LOVE, a book compiled and edited by the legendary RUSKIN BOND.\u00a0<\/p>

Her passion for writing extends to her personal blog The Lotus Flower Diary <\/strong>apart from being featured in well-known platforms like Women\u2019s Web, Momspresso, Kitaab, Frontlist, Writersmelon, and Writefluence.<\/em><\/p>

Varunika hails from the bountiful hills of Uttarakhand. Born in the quaint and picturesque town of Nainital, she has had a splendid and blissful childhood reposing under the shade of Deodar and Pine trees, frolicking around the lake. That part of her childhood always finds a place in her stories.<\/p>

Despite her academic background in Agriculture and Management, Varunika’s career trajectory shifted towards education, where she imparted knowledge and life skills to aspiring minds. Varunika’s commitment to remain life’s forever student is evident through her certification as a creative writing professional from the BRITISH COUNCIL OF INDIA and the HENRY HARVIN INSTITUTE.\u00a0<\/p>

It is Motherhood, however, which taught her the most.<\/p>

Mother to two upbeat and gregarious girls and wife to a skillful sailor, she happily juggles all the roles of an anchor, a hull, a rudder, and a propeller of the ship called family.<\/p>

While she chases her kids like a phantom mother throughout the week, she enjoys her weekend in the company of a good book, her camaraderie with a pen, and the smell of freshly baked cakes wafting from her oven.<\/p>

Through her writing, Varunika hopes to deliver a smile and some perspective.<\/p>

Her mantra in life is simple\u2026 In the sands of time, you must build all you can, with all the love you have!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
