Radhika K Walia's Biography

For over 23 years, Radika Walia has been a dedicated HR professional, committed to understanding and supporting the people she works with. She has seen the best and worst of human experience and shared in the emotions of those around her. She realized that every individual carries a unique narrative, shaped by memories, emotions, and defining moments.

 

Amidst all the hues of emotions these stories carry in them—of joy, love, anger, resentment, and regret—love has been that one emotion most deeply influencing her life. And it is that emotion which now warms her up when she reflects with such clarity. Love has been the strength, the support, the conviction, and the force of reassurance within her that told her that whatever stormy moments life may get her into, everything will stabilize sooner or later.

 

This book is a piece of her soul, a cathartic expression of the experiences and emotions she has gathered over the years. The idea for it was born during a pivotal moment in her life—while undergoing a CT scan. In those ten minutes of anxiety, fear, and claustrophobia, she felt an overwhelming need to share the stories that had shaped her. It was as though her heart asked her to go ahead and outpour the love and lessons learnt.

 

Through the book, Radika Walia hopes that in the reader will find a kind of connection in their own narration and emotions, and she herself wants to taste the catharsis that goes with embracing own stories.
