Anshika Barai
My name is Anshika Barai, I’m from Mumbai. I’m currently writing articles for the Bitmap Post
and I have my own blog called The Diary Tales. I love writing, it gives me a sense of peace. I
started writing when I was in sixth grade, and took it seriously and passionately last year. Other
than writing, I am a big foodie, nothing makes me as happy as good food. I can cook decently
but eating is where I win. People keep encouraging me to become a food blogger. Other than
that, working out in the gym is what I live for. Overall I am a weird combination of a foodie and
gym freak. I’m highly introverted so here is where writing comes to rescue, my written words are
more expressive than the words I speak. My parents are my biggest support and critique. They
encouraged me to start a blog, and I am so grateful for that. People are recognising me for my
articles. There are times when I’m trolled, or I receive hateful messages, initially this was the
toughest part. But now I’ve realised it’s always better not to react. I am just a budding writer, and
I hope I get the opportunity to write more and explore myself more as a writer. Whatever I do in
life, writing will always be a crucial part.
