About the Author

Tripti Shandilya writes for the people who carry entire conversations in silence and call it healing. Drawn to the fragile spaces between love and longing, memory and migration, hope and heartbreak, she believes the most extraordinary stories are hidden inside ordinary lives.

An Aerospace Engineering student with an enduring fascination for the cosmos, she finds herself equally captivated by the vastness of the universe and the landscapes of the human heart. Her work is marked by quiet intensity, emotional honesty, and characters who linger long after the final page.

When she isn’t writing, she is usually reading dog-eared books, chasing sunsets, or wondering how something as infinite as space can still feel smaller than a single human emotion.

Lost ~with Love is her debut novel.
