UJJWALA WALIA

Prefer to be called a versatile professional, I have deeply studied, understood, and worked in various industries ranging between education and outsourcing, footwear and travel, marketing and communications and journalism. Between a smorgasbord of learning and experiences, I have grown to use such skills as communication, visualization, creativity and critical thinking widely and extensively.

Through all these vivid experiences, writing came as a gift - a gift that I cherish and have now learned to use skillfully, mostly as an expression of my varied ideas. That is something quite incredibly exemplified by my latest piece of fiction, my debut novel called ZAHANA.

A winner of CLE (Council For Leather Exports) Design Award for the Best Shoe Design (Ladies Boot), I have since endeavored at creating something intriguing. But then, like every intriguing thing, this one's raking in more time than expected. Least said, that thing, the ultimate shoe, or collection of shoes, is in the making.

Until then, I hope you enjoy my writings, or as Zahana, my protagonist, puts it accurately:

'A bud from my psyche that will be reveled in another part of someday.'
