Trishna Damodar
Trishna Damodar believes strongly in the notion, ‘Love can conquer all’. She enjoys indulging her taste buds with treats from various cuisines, traveling and listening to music. Apart from that she loves to spend all her time with her family. Her father, mother and life partner are the pillars of her being. Previously, she has published two poetry books, ‘Mind & Heart Speak Words –Volume I and II’ and two novels, ‘Bag Exchange’ and ‘Amma and I’. Trishna did not start her career off as a writer, she was a hotelier. But when she had to part ways with the hospitality industry, words offered her a new direction. She firmly believes that ‘Opportunities shall present themselves at the most unexpected moments. It is up to you to decide which path can make you a better version of yourself’. She writes now to spread joy, love, awareness, and at times, through her words, be a silent helping hand for those in need.'''

About The Author:
Born In 1985, on October 20th, in Mumbai Maharashtra. Trishna Damodar has spent her life in various cities all over the world. This is thanks to her Father having a transferable job. Cities she has lived and grown up in: New Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Antwerp, Cairo. The constant shifting and change of scenarios did not fluster her. Instead she embraced every new opportunity and surrounding with open arms. It also helped her understand different cultures and customs at a deeper level. This exposure in her early years, aided in her process to become a well rounded human and eventually an author.

When it came to career choices, her first preference was the Hospitality Industry. In the 9th grade she had made up her mind to become a part of the service industry. She was intrigued with the unpredictable nature and constant novelty that this industry provided on a daily basis. After spending a few illustrious years in the Hospitality Industry, Trishna had to part ways due to health reasons. But no matter how many years went by, Trishna always managed to keep abreast with the hospitality industry in various ways. Being married to a hotelier, kept her in the loop of the on-goings in the industry.

For a few years after leaving the hospitality Industry she felt a little lost as to what she could pursue from her heart. She tried her hand at various sectors but ultimately in 2012, the world of words became her companion, and she has never looked back since.
