Aisha Simra Erakkoden is a fourteen-year-old Indian author of fiction novels. In Year 3, she quit traditional school and embraced homeschooling instead. In 2024, Aisha achieved outstanding results in her IGCSE examinations—two years ahead of her peers. While Aisha has always been a lifelong lover of stories, her fascination with fantasy was sparked one autumn day in 2021, in Kerala, India. It all began when she borrowed her cousin’s Kindle and discovered Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling—a novel that opened the door to her storytelling journey. From that day onward, Aisha has been immersed in reading and writing countless tales, with dreams of creating more. Beyond writing, Aisha is a true adventurer and a passionate learner. Her greatest interest lies in cosmology, but her curiosity knows no bounds. She is eager to try everything from sports like archery to exploring subjects such as history and philosophy. She dreams of dabbling in the arts—music, sketching, and martial arts—and enjoys challenging her mind with chess and learning languages. She strives to learn and experience as much as possible, letting her heart and intuition guide the way. With a heart full of stories, a thirst for knowledge, and a passion for adventure, Aisha invites you to join her on a journey of discovery and explore the wonders of this world and others, one tale at a time.
