“ I have a lot of stories in my mind which i know, have the potential to inspire the world”, says smitha kulkarni, a brilliant writer, experienced engineer, loving wife, and caring mother of two kids. Even after having a high paying, a brilliant white-collar job in a reputed organization, she couldn’t give up on her dreams of writing and today she is a well-known writer. Her writing style is attracting people because of its genuineness. People can easily relate to her words because of their originality.
Smitha is from a small town near the world heritage site of hampi in karnataka. A place where every monument and ruin has a story to tell. Smitha’s birthplace and its influences have had a significant impact on her writing journey.
According to. Smitha started writing professionally only in 2019, but right from her childhood, she knew she wanted to write. Even at an early age, she used to create her own stories, poems, and fiction. But because of the uncertainty related to this career, she chose to do her graduation with b.tech(ece) and got placed in a very reputed company.
After working there for ten long years, this was only in 2019, that she got some time to explore her passion.
When asked why she chose writing the stories instead of expressing her experience through film, painting, music, or dance she said, “ at present, i am surrounded by certain circumstances of life, and writing a book is a more manageable form for me because the majority of the book writing is done in solitude. I need team only when i am done with my writing”.

Beginning of a new journey

The writing was initially a small idea that came to her mind during her 2nd child’s maternity period. She started her journey of writing with a short story on one of the blogging websites. When she discussed this idea with her husband, he was enthusiastic and suggested her to expand it into a novel rather than a short story.
This motivated SMITHA to compile her journey as a novel and this is how her journey as a full-time writer began. She took a break from her IT job and started writing professionally.
“when you enjoy doing something there is no boundary to it. You will not give up by saying I don’t have time rather you will try to create the time for it. “I started writing whenever I could, on the balcony, on the terrace, in the kitchen, or wherever I could find solitude and time to write,” SMITHA says.
Even in the covid times when she didn’t have domestic help to do chores, she would finish her work and get back to writing. She finished a huge portion of novel in those panicking days. “Writing gives me joy and it gives me a kind of refugee from everything happening around me.I find peace in writing” Says SMITHA KULKARNI when asked how you could manage to write even during panicking situation of COVID.
