Dear Readers, A feast for your mind in today’s post. Beautifully written lines, like poems, have always had a lasting impression on me. Analogies, metaphors

Ashwini Shenoy is an Indian writer, cultural thinker, and storyteller whose work explores the intersection of mythology, contemporary and speculative fiction across different narrative forms.

Her debut, Shikhandini: Warrior Princess of the Mahabharata, explores the lesser-known character’s journey of gender transformation and identity within the framework of the great Indian epic. Shikhandini is available in Tamil and will soon be published in other Indian languages. Her other works include Gift of Life, a story of acceptance, hope, and healing during the pandemic, and the coming-of-age romance drama In the Golden Mountains.

Her experimental short stories have appeared, among other places, in Kitaab, MeanPepperVine and Sahitya Akademi journal.
