Gayathri Balaji is a poet, author, and creative spirit. A working professional by day and a writer by passion, she is a wanderer at heart who embraces life with curiosity and humor, often describing herself as a vagabond who finds beauty in candid stillness.

Her debut book, The Pendulum Petals: A Poetry Through Time, reflects her belief that identity unfolds in phases, much like petals opening or a pendulum swinging. Through lyrical metaphors and a decade‑long correspondence between two voices, Laya and Mouna - she explores themes of womanhood, resilience, silence, rhythm, and self‑discovery.

Gayathri’s writing is deeply personal yet universal, inviting readers to see themselves in the rhythm of her words.

People often say your twenties are life‑changing, and I agree — but they also come with so many expectations that even the smallest detour feels unsettling. Each time I try to straighten things out, I somehow end up tangled even deeper, and that makes every day feel like a mystery in itself. The plans I imagined for myself as a teenager are far from the reality I’m living now, yet the uncertainty keeps unfolding. I’ll never truly know what comes next.(less)

Behind the Scenes: My Debut Book

I know this community is all about books, the love of books, reading, shared enthusiasm for genres and a lot more - which I’m all in for now. But I have a confession: I’m not an active reader. Let’s say I’m a once in a blue moon reader, and I’m a terrible reviewer; I’ll reveal the whole plot if I try to review something. So, whenever I see books, reviewers, or readers, my inner voice goes, “Okay, Read more of this blog post »

“They say the eyes never lie.
Every colour, every shape, every flutter of a lash,
And every soul behind it, carries a story.
Only some witness the struggles,
Only few see the pain,
And only YOU know the WHOLE.”
Gayathri Balaji
