A current resident of San Diego, Dhara considers herself a nomad. She was born in one town of India, raised in two, and then moved to eleven more on three different continents, collecting stories from around the world in her sack of brain meat.

She is a big sci-fi loving space-nerd. When her fingers aren’t prancing on the keyboard, she is learning about the next fresh interest she has stumbled upon or reading fiction in a painful position or nibbling on Wikipedia or finding hacks to understand humans. An alien on the pale blue dot converting her bizarre thoughts into Times New Roman.

Drink lots of tea and coffee, eat hearty food, nap, listen to music, read, and write my heart out. On the days I feel socially generous, I'd sit outside on the bench, wrapped in a cozy blanket, and wait for Gandalf visits.(less)

Unearthing Idyll by Dhara Parekh
"Unearthing Idyll by Dhara Parekh is a stunning example of science fiction that doesn’t just tell a story—it immerses you in a world that feels both familiar and fantastical. The book captivated me from start to finish, offering everything I want out " Read more of this review »

George Orwell
“Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”
George Orwell, Why I Write

George Orwell
“So long as I remain alive and well I shall continue to feel strongly about prose style, to love the surface of the earth, and to take a pleasure in solid objects and scraps of useless information.”
George Orwell, Why I Write

Ray Bradbury
“There are too many of us, he thought. There are billions of us and that's too many. Nobody knows anyone. Strangers come and violate you. Strangers come and cut your heart out. Strangers come and take your blood. Good God, who were those men? I never saw them before in my life!”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

George Orwell
“It was possible, no doubt, to imagine a society in which wealth, in the sense of personal possessions and luxuries, should be evenly distributed, while power remained in the hands of a small privileged caste. But in practice such a society could not long remain stable. For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realise that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.”
George Orwell, 1984
