Her adolescent scribbling was identified as a future potential by her grandfather, Mr Vijay Kumar Misra, who was himself a highly reputed journalist and author of several Hindi books, and he encouraged her to play with her imagination. While studying at St. Agnes’ Loreto Day School, Saumya regularly contributed short stories, poems and articles to school magazines, various newspapers and even to the All India Radio’s Youth Programme. She completed her Intermediate from the Loreto Convent and then graduated in Economics, Political Science and English from the prestigious Awadh Girls’ Degree College. Throughout her college period, she actively participated in all extra-curricular activities, including sports, dramatics, painting, debate, but writing remained her first love and passion. She then did post-graduation in Foreign Affairs with Proficiency in French language from the Lucknow University and then Management in Travel and Tourism from the one and only IITTM, Gwalior. But, fate had already decided that she would enter a field most suited to her interests and she became a journalist, working with groups like ‘The Indian Express’ and ‘The Times Of India’. She has now taken up her second passion – love for Nature – and has launched a monthly magazine dedicated to environment, titled, ‘Tree Take’.’A Grey Story’ in her second novel after ‘A Life Less Lived’, which was a social Thriller.vizualizați mai puține
