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 priya [at] priyasarin [dot] com or fill the form below or visit her guest book.
A tribute to a true leader. Our hearts are very heavy with the passing of Shri Arun Jaitley Ji. Today, India lost one of its great leaders who relentlessly worked to give us a better nation. Indianns are truly blessed to have had him in their lives.. I pray to God to give strength to his family to bear this irreparable losss. May his noble soul rest in peace. Om Shanti. Shri Arun Jaitley Ji was a pillar of support and encouragement for all those whose lives he touched and changed. His first letter to me, apparently insignificant when compared… Read more »
I’m really impressed with your work. May I take the liberty to ask you a few questions.
Why do you prefer pared-down lifestyle? Is it important for really creative people?How does it help you creatively?
ha-ha… good one! I don’t know whether I have a pared-down lifestyle or not. But I know that a pared-down lifestyle brings a sense of peace, serenity, compassion and lets us see the good in everyone. When we have a minimalist take on life, we think a lot about the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of the things we really need. In examining what it’s like to live lean, it’s important to put away limiting beliefs – preconceived notions that keep us from living in the present moment, from becoming content and peaceful inside; notions that keep us from realizing our… Read more »
Priya, your analysis is bang on point and gives a very clear picture of how minimalist living pays. No wonder that’s why many richest people like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Mark and our own icons like Azim Premji, Narayanmurthy and Kiran lead a pared-down lifestyle. But then, many feel it is countercultural. Minimalist living is contrary to every advertisement we see because we live in a society that prides itself on the accumulation of flashier stuff. So a minimalist lifestyle is perceived as countercultural, almost rebel. And I fully agree that giving is living; if we want to feel truly… Read more »
I give 5 out of 5 to your book “Success Secrets from the Ramayana” and i am following my heart, and not just other renowned personalities like Dr Kiran Bedi, ex super cop, Dr Subhash Chandra, Media Moghul and Dr Ashok Mahapatra, Director, AIIMS, who gave gave it 5 stars.
While most like your work, there will always be some envious or jealous creatures. Now may I ask you 2 questions? Thanks in advance and best regards.
A. How do you feel when someone gives a GOOD comment?
B. How do you feel when someone gives a BAD comment?
Here’s a quick reply.
A. I feel we are nt in Kali Yuga yet.
B. First, I don’t expect everyone to appreciate my work. When someone gives a genuine BAD comment, I strive to do better. And I don’t care about casual bad comments as long as my target audience is happy. And when I get a jealous comment, I take that as a BIG compliment.
Thank u.
Your thoughts on bad, jealous comments really intrigue me. Recently my article was published on the school’s website. It was well liked by alll my teachers. But soon I started getting hate mails with negative, weird comments from unknown email ids. While jealousy was obvious, I couldn’t pinpoint anyone. When my friend found the identity of the crooked person behind those jealous emails, Iwas shocked. It was my always sweet, caring cousin. Thankfully truth prevails! And cowards who hide behind the anonymous tag are always exposed. How should I confront my cousin, or should I report to the police who… Read more »
Priya is traveling. Being a personal matter, she will personally reply on yur personal email. Meanwhile, Here’s some quick advice. There are kind cousins, and there are crooked cousins. Once you know the difference, you win. Instead of being disheartened, you should feel proud if you get jealous comments. Do you know why celebs like Trump, RaGa and Kejriwal started getting trolled only after they became somebody? Because people try to bring down only those who r above them. Continue your success march and let your shine burn th jealous people. Don’t trust me? Trust these wise men – “The… Read more »
Good to see people like you still exist in this materialistic world. God bless you, beta.
My teacher used to say that one person can make a difference and everyone should try.
I think you are that person who can make a real difference and have an impact on the world. Keep up the good work. God bless you.
Thanx and A Big Congratulations! You may consider yourself to be just another girl, but you really aren’t, and I respect your humility. You can really make a difference in this information and tech age and have a real impact on the world. Your stories are truly amazing. I always wanted to read good stories of th times in which we live. I felt many emotions while reading your book For A Great Future and the messages it brought. It offers an amazing insight into our lives and how we interact with others! This book is by far one of… Read more »
Your life story seems intriguing. Why don’t you write your real life story and imagined future as a novel?
It’s really amazing how you refuse to succumb to th psychological pressure of embracing superficial, frivolous social media. Soon i hope to muster enough courage to overcome false fears of being left out, and take the risk needed to live my real, preferred life! Thank you, Priya. Bless you, and godspeed.
Thank you for your kind words.
Success Secrets from the Ramayana: This simple book was a joy to read and had many great mantras we can all take to heart. It is a very simple yet thought provoking book and a lot can be gleaned from it. Beautifully Written!
Thank you, Ms. Priya! I look forward to more of your books.
“For A Great Future” is a pleasure to read. It’s a masterful blend of fiction and nonfiction that makes you think and think hard about who you are and what you want to become.
I wish you all the love and success in the world because you definitely deserve it. Good luck in keeping up the good work, and best wishes for the future! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thanks for so many hours of enjoyable and empowered reading, I find it difficult to put your books down. I hope you continue with your books and good luck!
I would love to have an autographed version of your next masterpiece. If not, I will still continue to be a faithful fan.
Keep up the wonderful work and best wishes for the future.
Ms. Priya, I just read and enjoyed Get Ready for A Great Future, the first of your books I have encountered. Great… motivational, uplifting stories and life lessons. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.
I really love your books, I adore the way you create new stories based on values and life-skills. I love reading them over and over again. I greatly admire your creativity to come up with these amazing plots! Thanks so much for your great books. Don’t ever stop writing…
I can’t wait for your next book to come out! I would love to hear from you because you really inspire me.
I have just read your book Get Ready for For A Great Future, and really enjoyed it! I felt many emotions while enjoying your amazing stories and the messages brought to us by these. Thank You Priya. _(ツ)_
I am your grand father’s ex colleague, and I am happy to see your progress as an author. You may not remember me as when we met last you were just 7. I am very glad to see that just like your Grand father you have a simple and benevolent nature. While your GF was number 1 in many things in our office, the two traits that instantly come to mind are – he was very wealthy yet very simple person among all colleagues. Though your grand father was the most charity giving person in our office, his mother was… Read more »
Respected Uncle, thanks for your kind words. It is just because of blessings and wishes from elders like you that students like me become better. Kind regards.
Your books are over the top..I can’t put them down. No wonder your books are overflowing with authenticity! That is why they are real friends I don’t have to leave behind… I am really motivated. Keep writing and inspiring people like myself.
Great! Keep it up.
i’m keen on a career in creative field as it makes me happy, contented. i would like to know yr reasons for giving up a lucrative career to focus on yr writing. i hav written a personal letter with details at the above given email id. please reply asap.
Priya will surely reply as soon as her exams are over.
Ten out of ten. Keep it up.
The masterful blend of fiction and nonfiction in yur books provides a great example of giving back for the children and others who look to you for guidance. You are a winner in the true sense when you make children & others view their glasses as half- full and filling, rather than half- empty and leaking. And the more they will view the world as offering opportunities and positive, instead of negative and with apprehensions, the more they will convince themselves that life has worth and meaning. They will appreciate the true value of life. Keep it up and hopefully… Read more »
Admittedly, I’m a clumsy reader and I usually skip lots of things while reading. But I just read your book “Success Secrets from the Ramayana” in one go, , I just couldn’t put it aside. (sorry, I didn’t take the suggested route of the 70 day plan. I am impulsive at the best of times) Your interpretation of the great epic is excellent, original and very inspiring. Keep rockin’!
Good day! Reading your stories – they are entertaining and empowering…It’s good to see people like you still try to change society’s demeanor. Thanks for reminding us that we can do more by being the person that god wants us to be and do good on every opportunity.
Hello Priya! Thank You! I’ve just read your book, “Get Ready for For A Great Future” and want to tell you how wonderful it is. From my heart I thank you and A Very Big Congratulations!
The book “Get Ready for A Great Future” by Priya Sarin is a wonderful way to teach kids, as well as adults such as me, life’s lessons without being preachy. Parents have hopes and dreams for their children, and they do their best to impart good morals and values to their kids which will help them to grow up to be happy, successful and righteous individuals. But they don’t know how to deal with the negative influences of 21st century digital media. Your stories engage children and show them that people matter more than screens. Screens are here to stay.… Read more »
Beautifully Written fun stories with moral implications to the actions that the main characters take. Keep them coming. I wish you so much joy and grace on your journey!
Heartfelt thanks for so many hours of reading pleasure and escape. Your work has the reeal potential to influence readers’ lives, to develop compassion, to stretchh imaginations and to develop a life-long taste and love of reading. …thanks againn for enjoyable reading experiences!
I have read your books and I think the concepts, ideas there are wonderful and worth sharing – not only with kids but also with grownups, all around the world… I would like to say….thank you. May God bless you.
Get Ready For A Great Future is a very simple yet thought provoking book. It really makes you think, as well as being hugely entertaining… Pearls of wisdom scattered throughout the book. Really an innovative approach… Thanks for all the hard work.
I must say that such creative contributions to kids or young adult literature is the greatest hope for humanity, and the greatest value of living. It is real education i.e. value education where effective and urgent actions are needed to counter the erosion of the ideals in the society. We must plant the seeds of greatness in our children, otherwise our society will crumble owing to the weeds of apathy and opportunism. You are really doing a great job by inspiring our future citizens with great stories of love and hope, right and wrong… pretty much all the happy, positive… Read more »
I have read Ramayan many times, but your book “Success Secrets from the Ramayan” offers new, amazing insights and well worth the read. Reading it was an emotional experience, and I felt many emotions while reading your version and the messages it brought.
As a Hindu, I grew up hearing the lessons from the Ramayan from which it is extracted. Your interpretation of the great epic is spot on. Thanks for looking into the deeper meaning of the Ramayan.
🙂 🙂
Beautifully Written Fun Books that Celebrate virtues and values, and show us how tomorrow can be made better than yesterday… Great going, keep up the good work.
Your stories and nonfictions- whether they are based on fantasy or rooted in real life-can speak to children (and also adults) more eloquently than any list of dos or don’ts and can impart moral values as they nurture a child’s imagination. To counter bad influences in society and prepare our children for future roles, the main goals of education should be enabling children to gain knowledge and moral values. But the neglect of teaching moral values in our education system is damaging our children and causing problems in society. I’m happy that people like you are trying to make a… Read more »
I wish you the very best of luck in all your future endeavors. May success attend your footsteps whatever you do!
Different and nice take on the Ramayan.
Your books are beautifully written in simple but brilliant prose. Entertaining and empowerinf books that celebrate virtues and values. No wonder priya is winning accolades from the credible leaders from various fields.
I wish you all success in your future endeavors.
Priya Sarin has firmly staked her place as one of the most exciting, energising and versatile young writers in India. No wonder Priya, your talent is winning accolades! 🙂 🙂
Your books are awesome and they open up people’s mind.They are written with the skill and sureness of a born storyteller. Thank you so much.
In today’s world, it’s easy to feel discouraged or hopeless and get consumed by darkness.
But then, even a glimmer of something good can make your day. Your book “ Get ready For A Great Future” is a ray of optimism as it features a glimmer of joy and releases positiveness. It proposes a willingness in each of us to see past the darkness by creating an awareness to the good, positive things that are happening despite the negativity in the world.
Thank you for reminding us how to be human again.
I’m always on the lookout for educational, energizing and entertaining books for my two children and that’s exactly what i found in Get Ready for A Great Future. It makes you laugh and cry in the same story. If you want to read a book that will stay with you long after the last page has been been read – then this is the book for you to read. May God bless and keep you always happy and writing for us!
I like your words and your efforts…you’re a larger than life character in a good way… It’s good to see people like you still exist, who want to try on an individual level, but it’s a hope most of us have lost.
Thank you for your work to bring sustainable character solutions to all people.
Thanks for so many hours of reading fun. The conversational, even chatty style of your books makes for easy and enjoyable reading to anybody. I can think of no more empowering and entertaining pleasure than that which your books provide. Wishing you all the best in life, may you have good health, success, joy and most of all, great writing.
Your books are entertaining and engrossing, but they also go beyond that. They make me feel like I can succeed even in this materialistic world. Thanks for making me positive…you are such a talented writer!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Good luck with everything!
Your books offer a new way to look at things. A positive, humane way. A way that has kept many readers enthralled by your stories. Your books show us how to live the good life by pointing us in the right way.
Keep up the good work, you r doing a great job. Thanks
Your books are entertaining, but here I commend you because your books have the potential to transform the collective consciousness of our society. They are not just about entertainment. Keep them coming. 🙂 🙂 🙂
I just read Success Secrets from the Ramayana. I knew the story by heart, but immensely enjoyed your take on the Ramayana. Despite the concentrated nature of its contents, the book makes easy and enjoyable reading. And much of its guidance is vivid, appropriate and true-to-life like the following warning: “Beware of sweet talkers.” Keep up the wonderful work. Wishing you all the best!
Seems Mr Bill Gates read this page and acknowledged your comments about beating him. You wrote he took ‘some time to realize the joy of giving’ but he openly said: “Took me decades to learn.” It’s really nice to know that even the richest philanthropist in the world can have big regrets, and we lesser mortals can do a better job. But frankly i’m in awe of his humility and his capacity for true altruism. See how he selflessly acknowledged it in a series of posts on Twitter on May 15, 2017: Bill Gates ✔ @BillGates 5/ I also have… Read more »
Congratulations! I appreciate your hard work and dedication. Keep up the good work. Nothing can stop you now! Eagerly looking forward to your nxt master piece.
I love to write. I wish I can be an author like you when i grow up. What are some pointers you could give me on being a great author? Please reply to my email.

May God bless you with joy, peace & happiness.
I’m sure you’re a person of great wisdom and magical power with words that make a difference. Carry on the good work. God Bless you.

I love your books, and awesome story lines… motivational, uplifting stories and life lessons. Most the time I don’t want to put them down. It’s nice that there is an author you can count on to write wonderful tales loaded with life lessons. Thank you and God Bless You.
Priya, Your books are so amazing I thank God for you. It’s great how you mix fun with learning. I can look forward to a strong bond with my children while teaching them morals and manners through these stories. Keep them coming!
Priya Sarin’s “Success Secrets from the Ramayana” is really a great book that celebrates the life of Lord Rama. Thank you for your thorough research and clear writing.
Saw you in the neighbourhood with your sweet friend. I must say her coat was really lovely. Do you visit the market often? Can I take a selfie with you guys next time? 🙂
May God’s richest blessings shower down on you like rain on a thirsty land. …May you fly high and fulfill your aspirations and dreams! .. I wish you every success in your all future endeavours – be they social, literary, educational, or any thing you want.
Your books are engrossing and entertaining, but they also go beyond that. Beautifully written in simple but brilliant prose. Keep them coming.
Most of us are striving to be the best version of ourselves without knowing what is it that makes a good person? Most of us are caught up in petty games or keep running after money believing that money equates to a good life. But a few good people like YOU know that values ans other people are important – family, friends and have-nots. They realize that the most important thing in life is making a difference to others and living life as an example of how others should also live. As they say, “The right way is not always… Read more »

May God bless you with all his love and care.
Thank you for writing such great books. Your values driven stories are precisely my cup of tea. Please don’t ever stop writing. You have a gift, Priya. God Bless you.
Your books are a big source of constant inspiration to readers who love or hate the characters in yur stories. I don’t think you realize how much your readers love the inherent life lessons cleverly disguised as humor, or sometimes as tears. All thiis makes the readers feel like they belong to a fair world, and they try to trust that everything will be ok. It was indeed a great experience to be a part of this journey, and I trust we will get more such pearls of wisdom from you. All my best wishes for you and your loved… Read more »
Success Secrets from the Ramayana – This inspiring, engaging and entertaining book based on great epic Ramayan is a real treat. When I read this book the first time I could not put it down.

Success Secrets from the Ramayana: a short version but innovative & full of wisdom. This Ramayana book is a must read for everyone as it offers something for everyone who wants to become a better person.
It should be translated in other languages so as not to deprive the rest of people. Truly Great Stuff!
