"When you write a story, don't just write it - live it. When putting words into the mouth of a protagonist (or any character) imagine yourself saying them and while writing about the reaction of the listener, write it the way you would react. Let the conversations not be meant merely to be read but felt as well. If you do not feel what you write, how can you expect the readers to feel it?”

"i do not write poetry, i take words and dip them in feelings”

These lines by Arti herself perfectly sum up Arti’s writing and all that it stands for. Her writing represents feelings more than thoughts, insight more than opinions. When you read her stories, or talk to her about them, you realize that she has lived her stories, each word, each character as though they were a part of another world, a world that she could open for us through her stories.

Her blog 'You me and stories' is one such sneak peek into this amazing realm of love and relationships. Author of 'My Life-story', 'Is This Love & Autumn - The Last Leaf', 'Resemblance - The Journey of a Doppelganger', ‘Love Stories’ – compilation of 30 Short Stories on Love & Relationships and 'Time Heals' Arti is quite prolific and has written several poems, short stories, blog posts and more. She is an avid reader, an active blogger and a gifted photographer. Her unique way of depicting feeling and emotions, a simple yet skillful use of language and believable characters make her writing truly different.

As the author herself admits, she does take words and dip them in feelings! The result is often a sweet and savory read that keeps the reader asking for more! A true Mumbaikar at heart Arti is single and currently lives with her parents.

Author says - "It's acceptable to not being liked for who I am; but do not hate me for what you think I am."
