Just like her name, Priya is a lovely, simple girl from Delhi. She likes to share wonderful stories that enhance and empower readers by adding value and purpose to their lives; stories that can make our world a better place. Apart from writing, Priya Sarin is also the co-founder and editor of The Students Digest which aims to empower the youth in an engaging and effective way. And she is also a social soldier in the For A Great Future project.
Writing is Priya’s true passion and calling. While she is a lively, friendly girl by nature, she needs to keep a low profile while writing. It helps her to live in her fantasy world, create stories and fully focus on writing. An ambivert by nature, this transition comes naturally to her. She believes content is the king, not marketing. So, she doesn’t care about marketing, promotions or superficial social media presence; she just likes to focus on positive, values-oriented content to engage, empower and inspire young people to reach their potential.
Her hobbies include watching cartoons and social service, especially for children. She spends most of her money and spare time in helping abandoned children. Instead of materialistic things, she derives her kick from the happy faces of these kids who are not short of talent but just short of opportunities to tap their talent. She got the bug of ‘giving and simple living’ from her grand father who came from a rich zamindar family and was a senior government official but always led a very simple life. Priya thanks God for showing her that the key to happiness lies in playing the game of giving at the young age of 17. She proudly considers herself luckier than her philanthropic heroes like Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg who took some time to realize the joy of giving.
Unlike today’s commercial authors, she avoids limelight and media. She follows Ruskin Bond’s advice that solitude is good for the soul and good for the pen, and writers need it. And being a single child of a single parent, this comes naturally to her. That’s why, wherever possible and practical, she prefers anonymity. Like her father, she also enjoys writing under funny pen names to better connect with the kids, and for honest and unbiased reviews. But then again, in this age of paid news and paid reviews, getting so many genuine and never-before-seen reviews from so many credible leaders from all walks of life is really incredible and validates Priya’s belief that content is still the true king for real readers.
It took Priya’s friends and readers quite some time and efforts to convince her to have her own website so that her readers can connect with her. Priya would love to hear from you, so please don’t hesitate to send her an e-mail at ps[at]priyasarin[dot]com or please fill up the form below.
