Raised in a typical Asian household during the 90s and 2000s, Atulia followed the expected path: suppress creativity, excel academically, and secure a corporate job. Despite earning two degrees, thriving in her career, and nurturing a family she felt unfulfilled—until a pivotal layoff sparked a profound awakening with the new found gift of "Time".
​
Now, as a passionate storyteller based out of the Bay Area, she weaves enchanting tales inspired by her everyday struggles and old stories from her grandmother, mixed in with a dash of her wild childlike imagination. Her debut book, Long Before Animals Had Tails: Secrets of Agastyadri, is a cozy illustrated short story that appeals to both young adult and adult readers.  The story delves into the realms of fiction, fantasy, and folklore. It's a motivational journey through the intricacies of life, inviting readers to embark on a transformative adventure of self-discovery and inspiration.
