Hey there!!
I'm Nithya Rangarajan. I grew up in India. I have multiple interests. I’m a Software Engineer who ventured into teaching to continue my childhood passion. While I’m successful in both, I discovered my interest in writing and did “Advanced Content Writing” course.
“The 5 Secrets to Sustainable Self-motivation” is my debut book in which I share brave and bold secrets for a woman to face and win over problems in life with one powerful weapon, Self-motivation. This book is close to my heart as I uncovered the secrets myself with instances from my life and my observation of the life of my acquaintances. While I’m relaxing, I love to listen to audiobooks and music, sing and dance and click photographs.

My Story
I’m a challenge lover. At school, my favourite subjects were Chemistry, Computer, Math and Languages. I began my career in the year 2000, landed a job in the software industry and spent more than a decade in it. The beauty of this industry is that it provides a challenging and exciting learning environment in which you outsmart yourself continuously. It promises abundant self-growth, a gift everyone would love to have.
​
While I was working in the software industry, I unearthed opportunities where I could nurture my childhood dream of becoming a teacher. I used to grab or create training sessions out of my own interest. It gave me immense pleasure as I shared my knowledge with others and got to learn at the same time. In my opinion, teaching is one of the best ways to ensure constant learning and self-development.
​
Though I was successful in my job, after a few years, I wanted to get into teaching full-time. I joined an organisation and got trained in handling classes on Communication, IELTS and PTE for professionals and graduates. The first class was awesome and the level of contentment I had is inexplicable. More classes, and more students and I enjoyed my journey to the fullest. It was an exhilarating experience and my heart demanded more and more.
​
A fulfilling journey for me and my students and I decided to convince my heart for a twist. This time, I wanted to gift myself the pleasure of teaching children. I love being with children. Their intelligence coupled with innocence had never failed to amaze me. I was sure I would have a wonderful teaching and learning experience.
​
I wanted to teach Math to children. I was always fascinated by numbers, right from my childhood. I remembered numbers easily and I was the “Yellow pages” my family referred to whenever they wanted a phone number. I still remember how I won the “Pi 100 decimals challenge” my friend gave me in 2019 to celebrate Pi day. You can watch the video here:

​
Apart from that, whenever I encountered numbers in my daily life or in subjects like Computers, Chemistry (balancing equations was my favourite topic), I would see my mind jumping up with joy. So, to quench the thirst for numbers combined with my passion for teaching, I joined another organization to teach math to children. It was a great experience being with children and helping them master Math. However, I had to quit due to personal issues.
​
I’m a person who strongly believes in constant learning and self-development. When I was wondering what my next step towards that would be, my passion for writing slowly knocked on the front door of my memory. I had been writing short poems, essays, and stories but hadn’t taken that seriously till then. I felt it was high time I watered that sapling to help me in my personal development and others’.
​
I began to deeply think about my future in writing. I wanted to share my experiences in life with the world. Also, irrespective of the environment I was in, whenever I met people, I used to think that my observations on their experiences needed to be shared with the world so that others need not go through those struggles again. It would benefit people and change their life for good. This thought triggered me to take my next big step in life.
​
That’s how I decided to write a book based on my experience and my observation of others’ experiences in life. My friends and family know me as an ambitious person brimming with self-motivation. This one quality, I thought, would be the best candidate for my debut book. With the help of my mentors, I became an author and published a book on self-motivation.
I’m happy that my book is getting great reviews and I hope to write more books in the future.
