Interview With Author Rajani Angadi
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a storyteller at heart, a mother and an IT professional turned travel writer. After years in the corporate world, I traded deadlines for daydreams and finally fulfilled a 13-year-long wish to visit Bali—a journey that became the soul of debut memoir, Bali Finally.
Why did I write it? Because I believe travel isn’t just about ticking destinations off a map—it’s about rediscovering yourself, laughing through unexpected mishaps, and creating moments with loved ones that outlast souvenirs.
What can readers expect? A heartfelt, humorous, and honest glimpse into her Bali adventure. From mother–daughter bonding and cultural surprises to personal reflections and lighthearted stories, Bali Finally is both a travelogue and an invitation to embrace your own journeys—wherever they may lead.
When I am not writing, I love working as a freelancer and exploring places.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Bali Finally – Patience, Passport and a Pinch of Personal Growth
I visited Bali after dreaming 13 years ago. This journey taught me and my daughter many things. Hence the subtitle summing up both.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No
What authors, or books have influenced you?
