    Urja Gaurav

    Urja Gaurav is an Indian girl living a less than ordinary life in Singapore. As a 13 year old, she wrote stories giving her a chance to step out of reality and into a world full of adventures, the world of fiction. She enjoys writing as a passion. Being a young person during such an eventful era, she saw and heard things differently and wrote to explore her thoughts. She wrote mainly stories that meant something to her, things based around death, family, tragedies and an occasional fan fiction. Being a child, being an unqualified writer, she never really shared stories with other people except for her parents. She studied under a variety of English teachers, each with a fresh pair of eyes to help her with her writing. She currently studies in UWCSEA East Singapore in Grade 8. She is an alumnus of NPSI Singapore and VIBGYOR High Bangalore, India. She also has keen interest in painting and sketching, she chose one of her works to go with each story in the book. “I wrote short stories to step into a world of fiction, using my inner feelings at the moment to write a strange yet deep story”
