Alexshendra Venus Bakshi is a
young Indian author, novelist and poet. Alexshendra’s published and widely
acclaimed novel “Aarambh ki Gyarah Kahaniya”, considered as her magnum opus is
a unique collection of eleven stories in fiction and is currently a part of the
plethora of books in the library of Niti Ayog which was formerly known as the
Planning Commission Govt. of India. In this novel her stories are focused on
the injustices and evils of society and relate to the ever increasing
desensitization and degradation in the moral fabric of our contemporary
society. Arambh Ki Gyarah Kahaniya entails the exasperated loss of patience
which characterizes our modern day civilization.
Alexshendra has been penning her
poetic thoughts and weaving them skillfully into her stories since childhood
and has incidentally brought new life to Hindi short story writing.Much of her
writing draws on her experiences gathered during her childhood and growing up
years spent in different cities across India, which fortunately offered her a
splendid opportunity to appreciate the unity and diversity of our rich and
magnificent culture. These wonderful and insightful experiences have
consequently left a positive impact on her writing. Alexshendra has established
herself as one of the finest writers of India.
After completing her BA Honors
from the reputed Gargi College she pursued her studies in law. She is currently an accomplished lawyer
handling both civil and criminal cases and specializes in law which delves and
deals with women empowerment.
Her father is a retired IPS
officer and her mother who is a double Masters in Hindi and History has played
a vital role in instilling deep respect for Hindi language. Even though
Alexshendra is multilingual, she prefers to write in Hindi language. Her ardent
wish is that the younger generation should take keen interest in writing and
promoting Hindi language.
Alexshendra’s interests revolve
around working for the empowerment of women, child welfare and care for
environmental sustainability. Besides this she is passionate about exploring
the history of various cultures and countries.
Alexshendra had conceptualized an
exhibition of paintings illustrating 11 stories from her book, a dream which
she fulfilled by hosting an art exhibition “Aarambh ke Gyarah Chitra” based on
her book “Aarambh ke gyarah kahaniya”. The stories were depicted on canvas by
artist Ankur Ranaon different facets of human nature.
Her forth coming novel is in the
completion stage andis a portrayal on inner and outer beauty. The author also
has grand plans to have plays enacted on her stories.
The future goals of Alexshendra
include writing her heart out in Hindi so that the divine language is duly
served and to contribute tremendously to women empowerment and in making the
world a safer place for children.
Alexshendra has been invited as a
Panelist Speaker by several channels to participate and address matters on
social issues. She has been honored by ICUNR awards as the women achiever of
the year. That’s certainly a feather in her cap!
