Vanshika Khaitan With an iridescent wish to scale heights, Vanshika Khaitan is a young high school student who houses her profound allegiance for literature snagged in her skin like scabs, picked. With her eyes fixed on rusted stars, the skeleton lies anchored a burden lusting for care. Sown with salt the wound bled as prolific words in her first book- ‘did it hurt?’. Words have wings and she is desperate to fly as she lives by the grief pressed like scrapbook flowers streaming out as poetry. Varshini Ghosh The desire to prove that sky is not the limit, Varshini Ghosh is a high school student with a poignant heart that immerses itself in the literary world. Her passion for literature has driven her into the despondency to write a cathartic book. She writes about affliction because she believes that all of us are accessories of darkness. The unstitched wounds will always bleed through the worn out parts of one's ribs.
