Simran Mittal

Simran, a former Assistant Professor of English Literature, is currently working as an Editor and Proofreader. She has edited a college magazine earlier in which she appeared as an author and poet. As a passionate writer, one can find her carrying either her diary and pen or her laptop in her hands, ready to write. When not busy writing and editing, she is usually reading novels and short stories, listening shayaris and poetry. This black coffee lover is not up for travelling unless one mentions historical monuments and mountains. Once in a while, if she gets the right motivation and time, she paints and sketches unconventional themes which are usually found in her writings too.

How Is It Love?

Short Stories

How Is It Love? is Simran’s first professionally published book which explores the themes of contemporary love stories set in Indian states and Utah to the strained family ties of the modern era. The five short stories raise the issues of how family background impacts the lives of people in the long run which makes them vulnerable to violence, abuse and insecurities. Hidden in the layers of love and romance, the focus is on how love beyond gender, age and caste, self-love, and firm determination become the indispensable elements of healing others and oneself. Besides, another theme highlighted, stemming from mental health issues, is self-harm by a male character to show that men suffer too. The last story in the collection is not the representation of the usual terrorist activities that people come across in society, but it shows how some events make a teenager turn into a body thirsty for blood and vengeance.
