Nitya Satyani is a teacher by qualification, a writer by passion and a mother by profession! Born and brought up in Mumbai, she has worked as a playschool teacher and freelance writer, contributing to several leading newspapers and magazines. But soon after the birth of her son, she discovered her true calling ? being a mother. Now this mother of two, spends her time marvelling at the innocence, growth and vulnerability of childhood. And in-between digging in the sandpit, scouting the park for insects, and posing as the chocolate-control officer at home, she disappears into every child’s fantasy world and writes beguiling stories for and about little peopleƒ and of course about the many joys of being a mother!
