About The Sketch Artist B. Siri Sathvika
I grew up in the old streets of Bangalore playing football.
Writing gives me a chance to showcase my thoughts to the world I am currently preparing for the NEET exam from Narayana co-school, Hyderabad. I hope one day I will be a good physiologist…
Ilikaranjan mam is one of the people whom I am very grateful for giving me an opportunity which I can’t even dream of. I thank her from the bottom of my heart!
I also would like to thank my mom Sireesha Alaparthy who has never stopped giving me thoughtful advice and has stood like a pillar throughout my life as well as my dad Hemanth Kumar who has been very supportive in this journey. I believe that one will succeed in life if one remains strong and face all the downs with a smile. As a result of this journey, I have come to understand who I am and accept it as a part of myself.
Thank you!

…. And The Angel Descends
The vacant hut, the swing on the tree,
The silent boat, all want to be set free,
River Beas gurgles with anger,

The act of cowardice has continued for long,

Can you sense the pain in that song?
That tears through the icy Pir Panjal Range
The trees of apples, plums, apricots now look strange,
