MADHURIMA GURUJU | 3 Indian Personalities You Need To Know 

From facing severe downfall to rising on her own to carve her niche in literary arts, Madhurima-the award winning teacher, author and poet is making her strong comeback with a couple of books lined up for release. 

Amidst the COVID crisis, in the year of 2020 when the world suffered lockdown and major collapse in lives, Madhurima’s life was not easy as she had to endure trauma and that’s when writing became her only companion to survive. 

Her writings were recognised on Instagram by budding publishers and had offered her to be in the part of anthologies. With a slightest of doubt she had on her potential post the release, the love she gained from peers totally reversed her inhibitions to expose her writings to the world. That’s how the author penetrated her focus into creating contents which had resulted in launching her own podcast channel. 

Although, her unstable health conditions tested her mental strength by tolerating severe backlash, Madhurima was adamant on being resilient and took a prolonged break from the chaos to finally getting ready for the release of most anticipated projects. 

Madhurima maintained her resilience despite the fact that her manuscript was robbed by a production house without giving her credits. The author didn’t prefer to talk, nor respond and rather focused on experimenting her writing style. 

She had started writing blogs about evolution of Telugu cinema, then narrowed down to researching about actors setting trends with unique screen writings then decluttered to making a core focus on an actor Naveen Polishetty who rose to stardom on his own. 

As she became progressive, she couldn’t help but felt deeply resonated with Naveen’s journey that she believed it might inspire a zillion. Followed by a poetry book which is currently titled Musings and Memories- part 2 has a collection of contexts related to everyone’s lives with simple poetic narrative structure. 

Living in simple terms, Madhurima is currently away from spotlight as she wanted to hone her writing prowess rather than indulging into rush for spotlight. 

Her writings are soothing as we have already experienced now we are waiting to see the magic she creates.
