Chandreyee Lahiri

One City One Story

Thursday, October 21 | virtual

Chandreyee Lahiri was born in Kolkata, India but spent parts of her childhood in Africa and various parts of the Middle East before returning to the homeland in her teens. She moved to the USA for a graduate degree in Geography that led to a twenty-five-year career in GIS for environmental management, much of it for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Over the years she has scratched her itch for writing in the thin slivers of free time that exist in the life of a working mother. This has taken the form of blogging, running flash fiction groups, curating a children's magazine for her son, writing children's stories (in verse and in prose), entering contests and public storytelling (in the tradition of The Moth). She believes in incremental change and tries to engage in community organizing even if on a small scale. Lahiri greatly values small moments which are frequently the focus of her blog posts and hopes to one day publish her short stories, children's literature and narrative nonfiction about her life. She tends to be maniacally optimistic about the goodness in people, especially when presented with evidence to the contrary. She lives in Waltham with her husband and fourteen-year-old son, who often provide fodder for her stories.
