An avid reader, Nainy has a keen interest in art and literature. She loves reading books by Sukumar Ray and Abanindranath Tagore, her all time favourites. Her other musings include failed attempts at drawing, a strong fixation with the river and an uncanny relationship with her pen. It took her a while before she realised that her calling was in fact writing books for children. Mamta Nainy is a children's book editor. She also moonlights as a writer and has a number of books to her credit. She loves travelling but is too lazy to do it, so she makes do with reading.
