ANITA JAIN

This is Anita Jain from India.

To match my passion to read I pursued the Masters degree in English literature, followed by a Diploma in Journalism. With an amiable disposition and an inquisitive mind capable of churning creative thoughts—I could not make much of this rare combination in my life. Like my protagonist, perhaps, I was a social misfit—a round peg in a square hole.

Though confident enough, I could never drape my confidence with outrageous colors of over-confidence. I always tried to be my real self, but being overtly self-conscious made people underestimate my capabilities or doubt my abilities, however I always surpassed their expectations, frankly, also my own.

After years of contemplation and analysis of my persona I have reached a point where I am comfortable in my skin—that is what I call being successful.

I would not have suggested this if asked a few years earlier, but now I can boldly say, it is easier to be your true self.

Expiry Date—not the end is my first book.

It is a contemporary romance fiction about love and philosophy of life.
