Despite leading a pretty regular life- completing a college degree, getting married and working a 9-5 job, Sundari Venkatraman's life took an interesting turn at the age of 53. Inspired by the likes of Mark Twain, Venkatraman debuted as an author in her later years. Setting aside the orthodox norms of age-appropriate behaviour, Venkatraman self-published her first romantic novel- The Malhotra Bride, on Kindle Direct Publishing platform.
