I am excited not just for this particular achievement but also for future opportunities that lie ahead like more opportunities to challenge myself as a writer and more possibilities of recognition in the literary world. A good book has the ability to transport its readers to different worlds, introduce them to diverse characters, and make them feel an array of emotions. It is an honor for me to be recognized as someone who can create such experiences through words on a page. The stories we tell can inspire change, ignite conversations, or even provide solace during difficult times.  Receiving awards certainly brings personal gratification, happiness, and pride,” said Dr. and author Samudrika Patil, CEO of Vedicure Healthcare and Wellness LLP.
