ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Naina Grewal, a student at the prestigious Lawrence School Sanawar belongs to an armed forces background of three generations. The author has been raised in lap of nature both due to remote postings of her father and later in a boarding school in the picturesque hills of Sanawar. As a very young child she saw her mother’s brave battle with cancer and she turned to nature for solace and strength. She emerged stronger as she keenly observed the brave birds and small animals facing forces of nature. She understood what love is capable of achieving while she watched birds caring for young and then daring them to fly. She saw symphony in streams and rivers. She saw symbiotic existence in nature and how nature assists life and growth. A national level age group swimmer, a participant at The World School Debates and an international exchange student, Naina credits it all to her teachers and blessings of nature.
