Sathya Saran
Sathya Saran gave up her siestas to relieve a friend who edited the Sunday section of The Hitavada in Nagpur, so that he could resign and join his fiancé in Canada. The move boomeranged. Sathya found herself preferring work to sleep and would often write all four pages of the magazine section under different names, to make up for the paucity of writers in her city. The floodgates had opened. Soon she was freelancing for Youth Times, The Sunday Review, and Eve’s Weekly, all of which won for her the Rajika Kirpalani Young Journalist Award. |
