About the Author: Born in Srinagar, Kashmir valley Shilpa Dhar has seen the insanity of humans at a very early stage in her life. She was just three when her house was burnt down by terrorists, post that her family left the valley. She says she indeed misses her mother land a lot . The inspiration to write comes from her motherland. Shilpa has done her schooling from Dehradun and jammu followed by perusing B.tech in IT from Chandigarh. She has worked in 4 Punjabi feature films ( regional cinema with brands like eros and zee studios) as an actor . She has worked in kids show for disney and big magic channel. Writing and acting both are her food for life! The most beautiful thing about acting and writing both is that both come to me from the existence. When I act I forget my own existence and allow nothingness to rest in me, allowing the character I am playing to flow in my physical body. She also practices tarot card readings from past four years. "I deeply realize the essence of all being connected: acting / writing and spirituality" She quotes ! It's like when you don't aim for the fame, rather allow the existence to speak through you, you become an artist in your very being "When we act we are most of the time not being ourselves or doing the role what we really want to from within but when I write I am always happily doing what's storming in me to come out and flow through my ink ." Is what she quoted for "falling for love again " which was published in 2016. Now she happily says " I only act and I only write when I know there is a calling and the universe wants to express through me, my ink, my expressions - the depth of my very being !" Her family and brother is her strength. It's there unconditional love that germinates me. I bow before sai Baba, Jesus and Krishna For being my guiding light, for being my guarded pillars in the world of spirituality . Goddess Saraswat For paving my way in the dark world of ignorance - my humble gratitude !!
