Alexshendra has been penning her poetic thoughts and weaving them skillfully into her stories since childhood and has incidentally brought new life to Hindi short story writing. Much of her writing draws on her experiences gathered during her childhood and growing up years spent in different cities across India, which fortunately offered her a splendid opportunity to appreciate the unity and diversity of our rich and magnificent culture. These wonderful and insightful experiences have consequently left a positive impact on her writing. Alexshendra has established herself as one of the finest writers of India.
