My name is Nandini Nagul. I am from Bijapur district of South Bastar. Seven years of Navodaya Vidyalaya brought the turning point in my life. I used to listen to my mother's stories since childhood ... and when Navodaya came, it was just a story kept in the library as a means of entertainment. In 7th I wrote the story narrated by my mother, which my teacher and friends liked very much and encouraged me to write the story. After this I started writing, but started writing novels when for the first time in 8th I read Ravindra Singh Ji's novel "Ek Prem Kahani Meri Bhi", I got the idea that something like that can be written. In Navodaya, my teacher kept guiding me so that I never stopped writing novels.
