Alisha ‘Priti’ Kirpalani lives in Mumbai along with her husband, two daughters, one cat and over a hundred board games. Her journey with words started after she won a creative writing contest in college, an undisclosed number of decades ago. This was followed by a degree in English Literature, a short stint as a reporter and later as a copywriter. From full- length novels to blogging to micro-fiction, she is known for the impeccable language and insightful nature of her writing. Her latest book “Ghosts in Our Backyard – The Ramsay’s real-life encounters with the supernatural” has been published by Harper Collins in April 2021. She is also the author of ‘Out With Lanterns’ and ‘A Smattering of Darkness”. Mother. Wife. Writer. I play these roles simultaneously, changing colours as the need arises. Through the lens of empathy, compassion and most of all understanding, I pen my stories. I believe we all face defeat, drudgery, death at some point in our lives. How do we feel? What sees us through? We are all prisoners of our minds, of the events in our lives and of those around us. The tip of the iceberg, shiny and gleaming, is not what interests me. The solid mass beneath, that which supports the brittle edifice is what fascinates me. What we frantically hide from prying eyes but it is what dominates each and every one of us. That convoluted working of the psyche. Achievements and Accolades: She was declared a top writer in Feminism for her blog on Medium. She won the micro-fiction contest hosted by the online publication ‘The Coffeelicious’. Both her books have high ratings and reviews on Amazon. A short story written by her has been selected for the ICSE curriculum VIth standard textbook.
