Dr. Arva Bhavnagarwala is a pediatrician based in Mumbai, India. She is an Honorary Consultant Pediatrician at Masina Hospital, Byculla, and Noor Hospital in Mumbai. Dr. Arva is also a National Advisory Board member of Indian Pediatrics, the official publication of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics.
In between seeing patients and being patient with her two boys, she manages to scribble a few words here and there. These words then form stories, and she gets an adrenaline rush when the stories connect with the readers.
A few of her short stories have found their place in anthologies by various Indian platforms like Women’s Web, eShe magazine, and Room9 Publications by ArtoonsInn. Her stories have also appeared in Woman’s Era, Active Muse, and The Hooghly Review.
She started her writing career with parenting articles on Momspresso, for which she won multiple Top Blog Awards. Moving on to fiction, she realized this is what she enjoys the most.
When not busy with her practice and writing, she loves to travel. Also, she is a voracious reader and can devour books, sometimes in one day, food and water forgotten. She prefers chai over coffee and loves to eat biryani with potatoes in it. She hates liars and latecomers.
Her debut novel A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE is acquired by Shaherezad Shelves and released worldwide in September 2023.
