Aditi Explains the empowering and interesting journey "Growing up, all my heroes have been women. I have always been inspired and motivated by women who are trailblazers, who refused to be put into a box and who embraced their freedom while empowering others. This trend continues to define me till date. I write stories about the Indian Army wives and families and I am forever in awe of the strength and courage displayed everyday by this tribe. I believe that Army wives are some of the strongest women who hold the fort at home while the soldier does his duty for the nation. That said, I firmly believe that the journey of every empowered woman is inspiring to the rest of us."

" Women may look as delicate as silk thread but boy! Oh boy! If you ever try their strength" Says Ms Sharma

"I have been a storyteller since the age of 5. Growing up with her grandfather, who was a literature buff and the biggest bookworm I ever came across. It was him who introduced me to this whole bookish pursuit which fascinated my imagination and gave me wings to pursue my creativity further. I published my first romantic fiction in 2023 but the plot was brewing in the corridors of my mind for a long time. My journey as an author has been really interesting and inevitable." She added.

Ms Sharma started writing poems at an early age and published her first set when she was in 10th standard in the form of a coffee table book. It was a great achievement for someone who lived in a second tier city of uttar pradesh where everyone was only obsessed with either being in the medical or engineering field.
