Subarna is a Pushcart nominated author and an engineer turned civil servant. She finds solace in reading and writing, the latter more than the former. Her short stories have been published in Hammock Magazine, Hemlock Journal anthology, Worldstone Publishing anthology, Metaworker Literary Magazine, Gordon Square Review, among others. She enjoys either the raw reality in literary fiction or the fantastical creativity in science fiction. She lives in Bhubaneswar and thinks life would have been simpler if she somehow was not a part of the human society at all.
