Behind the Books
In her day job, she is an endocrinologist; trained in Kolkata and London and a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (UK). She has always been a passionately committed writer. Over the years she has written in many formats – articles for The Statesman (Kolkata), scripts for educational documentaries (EMMRC, St Xavier’s College, Kolkata) and for a CD-ROM created by Price Waterhouse Coopers on Satyajit Ray (narrated by Sir Richard Attenborough). But her enduring love has always been fiction and today she writes across a range of genres and age groups.
'Job Charnock and The Potter's Boy' published by Niyogi Books is her first work for adults. Previously she has published three books for younger readers. ‘The School for Bad Girls’ for young adults in October 2024 by Duckbill (Penguin Random House India) who had previously published My Grandmother’s Masterpiece in February 2022 and Munni Monster in February 2023.
She is also part of the Italian Consulate initiative ‘Bridge of Stories’ – an anthology of short fiction by Indian and Italian writers. She has written for The Woman Inc. and Saaranga Magazine, among others.
