Devashish Acharya is a Kolkata-based banker and writer. His love for stories began at a young age, and writing remains both his refuge and his passion. He finds solace in the company of books and liberation in stories and poems. He enjoys travelling, especially to places less travelled, and listening to the stories that the places and people often have to offer. For Devashish, writing is a way to explore the nuances of life, triumphs, and hope. His debut novel, To Catch a Glint of Hope, is a testament to this belief, an exploration of hope in its many forms. He has also previously published a collection of short stories that explores life’s unexpected twists through emotionally resonant tales.
