It's just the beginning!

-Shalini S K & Bhavinaya J

Exploring the world's different vistas is most important to our college alumni, Jayapratha Kannan, the author of the book “It’s Just The Beginning."

Jayapratha Kannan holds a master’s degree in finance and returned to India after a corporate stint in Europe. She has been finding her venture and authoring her debut book. Her adventurous spirit and passion for exploring new places and cultures help the author gather gigantic stories to share with her readers.

A young girl, born in Pollachi, with no writing background and not being a seasonal writer, was inspired to write from her own experience! Her adventurous spirit and passion for exploring places will encourage the readers to come out of their comfort zone.

This story is about her 6 years of experience, challenges, and setbacks in Europe. She has experience travelling from one place to another, and in this scout, she found herself and is more relatable for the teens who are in search of self-love.

Salzburg is her most loved place in Germany, where she spent around two years due to the pandemic but these years made her find her goal in life.

What would you do if you had a chance to travel the world? Wouldn’t one start with Europe, the best place that one can travel to? Our author also did the same. Narrating through the different segments of our travel, she inspires us to travel more. She says, It is a journey of self-discovery and love.

Her first leg of the journey began in Austria four years ago when she was a part of the BMW automobile company.

Later, she was posted at Salzburg, Germany. Stating her favourite place as Salzburg, she narrates her hard times through the pandemic-hit place. Our author was able to collate her experience in Salzburg with Pollachi, her native.

She narrates her own difficulties and breakthroughs through a character. It’s about a young girl who transcends geographical boundaries and dares to step out of her comfort zone. Her stimulus was the realisation that life extended beyond the pages of her textbooks.

This story unfolds the challenges of her life choices, and this tale of evolution will remind you of your life’s goal and explore a new lifestyle. She believes in building her life's dream with her loved ones and making exploration and challenges continuous learning. Her adventurous spirit and learning attitude made her write over several stories and share them with the readers.

The book itself is filled with many instances that resonate with some of our lives. This is a tale of evolution, a reminder to everyone that you are born to create an impact. Through her book, even the young fellows are encouraged to write.
