I’m delighted to share that I’ve been awarded the prestigious SJ Global Icon Award 2024, presented by SJ Publication and supported by the Inkzoid Foundation.

This recognition celebrates not only my work as a content designer and writer but also the creative journey I’ve pursued under my pen name, “Strange Life.” From publishing in 17+ anthologies to raising a voice on critical social issues, this milestone acknowledges my unwavering passion for storytelling and impact writing.

My roots in Hyderabad and background in Mechanical Engineering have shaped my unique path into literature. I’ve always believed that stories have the power to inspire change—and this award strengthens that belief.

A heartfelt thank you to SJ Publication for this honour. It reminds me that with sincerity, creativity, and courage, stories can truly transcend boundaries.
