Chitra Padmana has spent most of her life in the beautiful eastern cities of Kolkata and Bhubaneswar, foraying into the world of writing at nine. She’s a scientist, a trained classical dancer, and has won over forty awards at the state and national level for her varied literary activities such as writing and directing plays, storytelling, essay writing and debates. A voracious reader, she often forgets to eat and sleep when engrossed in a book, getting up only for a blissful cup of coffee now and then. A paradoxical mix of logic and wild impulse, she spends her time these days weaving bits of her soul into words and chatting with bookworms like her.
