Indira GUHA PATRA, an author who revolutionised the pace of writing, set a record for being the youngest Indian woman to publish four books in four genres in four years.
Indira Guha Patra, who was born in Kolkata on November 19, 1988, comes from a middle-class but well-educated family. She attended Durgapur’s Carmel Convent High School and subsequently Kolkata’s B.D.M. Institute (now B.D.M. International). She completed an Integrated M.Sc in Biotechnology at St.College Xavier’s in Kolkata before beginning work as a Research Fellow at the Indian Institute of Chemical Biology. Her creativity, however, was unaffected by her science-based schooling. Her true calling is to convey reality, nature, and human emotions while weaving them together with her creativity to create a rich tapestry in which fact and fiction blend wonderfully.
She authored a Romantic fiction called *CHASING DREAMS*, then a supernatural short tale called *THE PROMISE*, a children’s illustrated book called *BABY FIGHTS CORONA*, and finally a crime thriller fiction called *THE VEIL OF DISGUISE*.
Because writing in diverse genres by one author is a masterpiece in and of itself, and she did so in one year, she has gained not only national but also international acclaim.
