INTRODUCING GANGA BHARANI - A TECHNICAL ANALYST BY PROFESSION AND A WRITER BY PASSION
Artily Blog post Team
I introduce myself as a twenty three year old Ganga Bharani, a technical analyst by profession and a writer by passion.
My reason to write books is to become a script writer in the film industry. The only way I could look for opportunities, sitting at home with all the restrictions posed for a girl child in families like mine, was through my books. I started writing stories as a hobby in 2010 and to reach a wider audience I started posting those short stories in my blog (GB LAND). Comments from strangers, new readers and the increasing page hits made me an addict to my blog. I had taken my blog seriously from then. I started writing something I call Blog books- series of chapters that make a story in my blog, for which I got an overwhelming response. I had written 6 blog books and each of these blog books have more than 300 dedicated readers. One of my short stories was made into a short film, titled ‘Bhimbam’, which was screened at the AVM Preview theatre.
Slowly, the interest to make short documentaries rose in me. I started making short documentaries and stop motion videos addressing various social issues. ‘Tiny Steps’, one of my one minute documentaries, won Best Film award in We Care international film festival. Also, in the same international film festival another short video of mine titles ‘Candles’ won the Special Mention Award.

As a blogger, I have won various prizes from Indiblogger.in and blogadda.com. When I won the grand prize worth 25,000 in a contest conducted by sunsilk and won a kindle in another contest conducted by the same company, many readers started noticing me as a blogger. Also I was awarded ‘Woman of Substance’ by Godrej and Blogadda. I always wanted to become a writer and here I am holding my book as I type this mail to you. My debut novel ‘Just You, Me and a Secret’ was published, recently, by Tales4 Publications. Being a hard core technical developer working for one of the world’s best MNC, the biggest challenge I had was time management. I had never let down my career as a techie for being a writer, also never gave up writing everyday due to work pressure. I work for a solid 9 hours and have 3 technical papers published in international conferences.
The first copy of my book was given to my inspiration for doing things differently; RJ Balaji.

About my book: Meera wakes up to find herself in a strange place, she doesn’t recognize. Later she realizes that she doesn’t recognize who she was, herself; not even her own mirror image. On top of this confusion, Ashruth tells her that she was in love with him and their marriage was fixed. She doesn’t like him even a wee bit now. She gets to know her own past from her diary. There is a switch between the confused present and more confusing past in each chapter of the book. Finally, when the diary past and the past-forgotten present meets at a point, she falls in love; not with Ashruth but with her cousin Santhosh. Her marriage is fixed with someone she loved in the past. She loves someone else in the present. She hates the guy her marriage is fixed with. But she understand the amount of love her parents have for her. All these confusion spin the story into a book. What happens after that is the story. This book is a rollercoaster of suspense and has a lot of twisted knots that the readers will enjoy.
Something more about me:
I was a child anchor for a television program in a leading tamil television for three years. I have dubbed for radio commercials and been a model for Aavin ice cream. (2000-2003).
