Author: Vaishali Chandorkar

Life is never single dimensional as we all know, We have to experience happiness and heartache for us to live and grow.’ These lines, written by Vaishali in her poem, “Beautiful Life” defines her oeuvre. She believes in living each moment and savouring every aspect that life has to offer. She realised early on that life is not just a bed of roses but it has its shares of thorns too. Her writing-short stories and poems, reflect this very reality. A graduate of English literature and an alumna of IIMC (Journalism) she has also worked as an educator and moulded young minds to fight injustice and live with honour. As a journalist, she covered human interest stories, which helped her develop her writing and observation skills. A prolific writer, she has been a recipient of many awards and certificates for her stories and poems. Her debut book of poems, “Whispers of Immortality” published in July, 2022 has garnered rave reviews by poetry lovers. A freelance editor, she has compiled and edited six anthologies and is currently working on her seventh.
