When asked about her book, Dr. Nikita Lalwani says, “My mother says, after 2 pegs, nothing could go right. But I feel that the world’s most happening stories come up only after 2 pegs; so that’s how I decided to come up with a short story collection.”
The Book includes stories from all the genres and from different types of people from across the world. The book however, does not encourage drinking alcohol. There is no denying the fact that every euphoria, high, dysphoria or unconsciousness of mind has brought us at incredible events which at times have turned out being life changing.

Dr. Nikita Lalwani is from a small district of Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. She started her journey as a dentist, transformed into a blogger, then a copywriter and now she’s also an author.
At the age of 15 she wrote her first article for a local newspaper in her hometown. The idea behind starting to write was to confront people with the long running conflict in her mind. The article was titled – why girls have restrictions – and that explains everything about the conflict. However, it didn’t change anything except for the fact that Nikita had discovered a way to express her rage. When she was 16, she penned her first book – Live Life… Stop Analysing it – which was published with Himalaya Publishers. This was only the beginning, later on she went on to write her own blog and then the book ‘2 Peg ke Baad.’

2 Peg Ke Baad has been published by Srishti Publishers. Speaking about the book, publisher Arup Bose says, “Dr. Nikita’s age belies her unending potential. She is an excellent writer who brings in variety in her stories. Since she is young, she understands the pulse of the youth and her roots allow her to understand the interests of the older generation as well. The result is a book that contains a collection of stories for every kind of reader.”
The coffee enthusiast, rebellious author adds, “As a student in college, I have never liked the subjects, it never felt like I belonged to that place. While I was studying, I used to write blogs, most of the time to get back at my professors. But, writing was the only hobby that I maintained during my student years.”
As an effort to make her book visible to as many creative people as possible, Dr. Nikita Lalwani has presented her book to the who’s who of the Marathi film industry including award winning director Mahesh Manjrekar, singer-director – Avdhoot Gupte, actresses Sonalee Kulkarni & Prarthana Behare amongst others.
When asked about the future, she quips, “I consider myself being married to writing. So no matter what I do for a living, I can never ignore writing. For now, my job is taking away all my time. Whenever I get free time off my work, I immerse myself in another world with a pen, paper & words floating around the room. I have started working on my next book which is a dark fiction. It tells the story of a woman in a socially unacceptable relationship. Hopefully, you could get to read it by next year.”
Dr. Lalwani is ably represented by Sarvashreshtha Solutions and AGENCY09. They are consulting Nikita Lalwani, working in tandem with her to ensure the book makes it way to the audience who appreciate wit & quirk in their shelves.
