American poet Sylvia Plath was born in Boston, Massachusetts. Despite literary and academic brilliance, Plath suffered from depression that first appeared during college, and during that time she attempted suicide. Plath went through six months of intensive therapy, including electroshock treatments, and was released. She later married British poet Ted Hughes and the couple had two children. After it was revealed that Hughes was having an affair, he and Plath separated and she moved into a residence formerly inhabited by W. B. Yeats. Sadly, Plath succumbed to her depression in February of 1963 when she killed herself. She was only 30 years old. Today her words are lasting and influential, both her poetry and her semi-autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar.

Sahityika has been a warm and inspiring space, full of creativity, connection, and growth. It's where I found not just a platform for expression, but a family of like-minded, supportive individuals.
Sreevidya
Sahityika is a sanctuary—a sanctuary where creativity overflows. It has taught me so many things. It’s now become like home, full of fun and friends. I don’t know how words could ever capture the beauty of this place.
Prasidha Jayaramakrishnan
Being a part of group of highly knowledgeable people who share my love for literature has been a liberating journey. Even though I am occasionally active in the group through messages, I tend to stay in track with the happenings of the group. From what I've seen, Sahityika feels to me like a group of non-judgmental people who bring to the table a lot of different views on the world. I've learnt a lot from this place.

Raajameenakshi's leadership. Satyaki's Poems. Shambhavi's events. Sejal's scripts. And the entire team's enthusiasm and participation, it wins all our hearts. Sahityika is a warm, welcoming space which brings out the writer in us, brings out emotions and provides a space for us to connect better as people, unfiltered, unjudged, real.
