Naisha Chawla (6.20071 hails from India's national capital city she was born as the daughter of Nupur Chawla and Puneet Chawla she has been writing since when she was 12 years old and it's been quite a journey in just these 3 short years. what started out as paragraphs and prose eventually morphed into poetry and in time when she couldn't fathom, her mother suggested getting published, which resulted in the book titled the Grants of Calliope. Ever since a younger age, she has been writing skits and stories for her school and taking part in story writing competitions-only inspiring her to continue this streak into a full-length novel, in the works, she also has an affinity for music, learning the piano, and takes particular care of community service, tending to stray dog welfare in her colony and recycling dry waste in a monthly collection drive she's partaken in educational courses through the course of the lockdown, such as with UC Berkeley (USA) and the University of Michigan (USA! As is well known, a love for language isn't borne singularly, and she hopes to be a polyglot, crossing off Hindi and English, and 5 years into learning Spanish, Besides writing, she takes a keen interest in history, true crime, marine biology, pop culture, and many others.
However surreal an experience as these past few months have been, I'm proud to present, to you, the Grants of Calliope. From waking up in the middle of the night, to running to my laptop, leaving behind math textbooks, poetry has been my greatest errand, my dearest hobby, and my most prized yet unexpected 'grant.' I'm currently 15 years old, a little over 3 years into writing, and just as much an amateur as I was back then. I solemnly believe learning is a never-ending process and that we all have some inner ambition towards something.
Take it from me, 3 years ago before I started writing I was terrified that I may not have a sense of direction for my future because I was a child, same as any who liked cool rocks and thought grocery stores were akin to heaven on earth. A weird world to think about, that makes you feel confident about being able to fit in and then believe it is the reason that you do not, in fact, fit in! From fear to fanatic to faltering and now facing you, it's been a longer way than you think and I've come to love all the moments that I also don't.
Teenage is probably the most fascinating period of life. Like that of the girl whom we find in 'Alice in Wonderland', she remains there with an astonishment of being released from childhood yet with her eyes widened looking at the wonderland blooming right in front of her. A few just explore the new landscapes, however, there are a few who rather try to find meaning in life. Naisha Chawla falls in the second category, who takes this opportunity to write for eternity.
The title itself opens up the path of mystique and invites us to enter the realm of ancient intellect, where wisdom, creativeness, finesse and entertainment tangle together in a most precious and magnificent embroidery where the linen and the thread are replaced by the paper and the words.
Undeniably these are the precious gifts of Calliope, the Chief of all Muses, as Hesiod and Ovid called her, being the Muse presiding over eloquence and epic poetry. No wonder she was believed to be Homer's muse for the Iliad and the Odyssey and invoked by the Roman epic poet Virgil in the Aeneid.
