Bangalore Author Shruthi Harikrishna Blends Doodles, Data, and Life Lessons in Her Debut Book The Store of Life

New Delhi [India], June 18: Bangalore-based author Shruthi Harikrishna marks an inspiring literary debut with The Store of Life, a visually engaging and deeply reflective book that reimagines self-help through doodles, storytelling, humour, and mindful introspection. Rather than presenting itself as a conventional self-help guide, the book uses a unique shopping analogy where time, not money, is life’s most limited resource. Readers are encouraged to thoughtfully “fill their baskets” with experiences, habits, relationships, and moments that bring genuine meaning and contentment.

Available on Amazon India, The Store of Life blends visual creativity with emotional insight, creating an experience that feels both playful and profound. Each chapter concludes with a thoughtful “checkout counter” section that gently nudges readers to pause, reflect, and actively apply the lessons from the chapter into their own lives.

A state rank holder, Computer Science Engineer, and MBA graduate from IIM Bangalore, Shruthi currently works in analytics at a global software company, where she transforms data into meaningful insights. Beyond her corporate career, however, lies a deeply creative storyteller who has long expressed herself through writing, doodles, and art.

Her widely read blog, TameShru@Wordpress, with over 20,000 views, first introduced readers to her witty and insightful observations on everyday life. Her storytelling abilities were further recognised when one of her short stories won the prestigious Deccan Herald Short Story Competition. She also nurtures her artistic side through creative platforms such as Whorls of Maya and Doodle. Doodle. Do, where her intricate zentangles and whimsical doodles come alive.
