Ms. Asha Bindu is a lawyer by profession, and though busy with her schedule, she finds time to share her views, anxieties and hope through this novel, Saga of Vantissà and Chun: A Celestial Harmony.
She is blessed with a wonderful husband, Venugopal, and two beautiful children - Vivek, a software engineer by profession, and Gayathri, a 10th-grade student - who have stood with her as her dream of publishing this book came true. A voracious reader since her childhood, she has penned poems and short stories in her mother tongue, and this is her first novel. Another novel is in the works, which she hopes to publish shortly. The seed of writing was sowed in her by her father, V. Gangadharan, who himself was a playwright and poet, and was nurtured by her mother, Vijayalakshmi - both of whom are no more in this world. Ms. Asha is also supporting her daughter, who has stepped into the world of poetry and fiction, in revealing her writing to the world in the near future.
