Chandra Ghosh -Jain

She was born in Calcutta and spent her formative years in Delhi. She graduated in Economics (Honours) from Miranda House, Delhi University. She received her post graduation in Economics from Jawahar Lal University New Delhi. For a brief while she taught Economics in Delhi University as a lecturer. She did her research on the ‘Changing Agrarian relations and it’s impact on development’ from Rajasthan University. Her husband’s transferable job offered her an opportunity to travel in the state, which boasts of palaces and forts of a bygone era; which forms a backdrop to many of her tales.

Time seemed to stand still all one had to do was brush away the sands to recall a tale of surprising intensity. She is presently staying in Jaipur. She is currently working on a collection of short stories, ‘Quixotic Quest and other Tales’ and her novel ‘Dixita Dancing on the Edge of Despair’.

‘Sita’s letter to her unborn daughter’ a short story of hers has been published in an anthology published by Penguin ‘In search of Sita’.
