In the quiet town of Ghatsila, Jamshedpur, a young woman is carving her own path in the literary world, drawing inspiration from some of the most legendary authors of our time—J.K. Rowling, Arundhati Roy, and Jhumpa Lahiri. At just 24 years old, Turhini Hembram, a nurse, poet, and writer, is not only finding her voice but also inspiring others to find strength in their own stories.
From small-town roots to writing for the world, Turhini’s journey is a testament to the power of passion, persistence, and practicality. A daughter, a devoted nurse, and a motivator, she embodies the belief that every life is worth telling—and that every challenge holds the potential for growth.
A Journey that Began with Overthinking
Turhini’s love for writing began when she was just 17 years old. As an overthinker, she found solace in putting her thoughts to paper. Inspired by the words of author Robin Sharma—”If your life is worth thinking about, it is worth writing about”—Turhini began journaling and expressing herself through poetry and stories. It became her way of processing the world around her, especially when life felt overwhelming.
But it wasn’t just Sharma’s words that motivated her. Her mother, a quiet poet and lover of words, also influenced Turhini’s passion for writing. The two shared an unspoken bond in their love for language, and her mother’s own poems and quotes fueled Turhini’s desire to create something lasting.
From Ghatsila to Literary Aspirations
Born and raised in Ghatsila, a serene town in Jharkhand, Turhini’s early education was rooted in local institutions like St. Joseph Convent High School and Ghatsila College, where she completed her schooling. She later pursued a bachelor’s degree in B.Sc Nursing from the College of Nursing, Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur, balancing her professional journey with her growing love for writing.
But it wasn’t just her academic achievements that set her apart—it was her commitment to human connection and understanding. Turhini has always been drawn to people lost in the crowd, and her writing reflects this deep sense of empathy. She’s not just telling stories; she’s capturing the often unspoken feelings of those around her.
A Rising Star in Poetry and Motivational Writing

“Eyes of a Nurse,” Turhini’s debut book, is a heartfelt collection that merges her nursing experience with her poetic soul. Through vivid verses, she explores the emotional journeys of those who dedicate their lives to caregiving, using poetry as a powerful medium for reflection and connection. In addition to her solo work, Turhini has contributed poetry to other collections as a co-author and won first prize in a college poetry writing competition, further solidifying her place as a talented and ambitious writer.
Her writing extends beyond poetry. As a motivational writer, Turhini’s words are designed to uplift and encourage others to keep moving forward, no matter the obstacles in their lives. Whether walking or crawling, she believes in the importance of perseverance. She regularly reaches out to people, offering them the comfort of knowing that, no matter how difficult life may seem, there is always a way to continue one’s journey.
“I write to inspire people, especially those who feel lost or overwhelmed,” she shares. “I want them to know that their journey matters, and no step is too small. As long as you keep moving forward, you’re making progress.”
A Future Among the Literary Greats
Like the authors she admires, Turhini hopes to leave an indelible mark on the world of literature. Inspired by the narrative styles of J.K. Rowling, whose ability to create entire worlds captivated her as a young reader; Arundhati Roy, whose stories reflect deep social awareness and introspection; and Jhumpa Lahiri, whose delicate exploration of identity resonated with Turhini on a personal level, she aspires to craft stories that reflect both the personal and universal.
“The way Rowling transports us to Hogwarts, Roy invites us into the complexities of human relationships, and Lahiri delves into the intricacies of cultural identity—that’s the kind of writing I want to create. I want to connect with people, help them understand themselves better, and show them the beauty in the mundane,” she says.
A Story of Persistence and Purpose
Despite her young age, Turhini’s journey as a writer is one defined by passion, perseverance, and purpose. Her writing not only reflects her own experiences but also serves as a source of strength for others. She’s living proof that you don’t need to be famous or live in a bustling metropolis to have your voice heard. From Ghatsila to the literary world, Turhini Hembram is showing the world that you can make your dreams come true with grit, heart, and a love for storytelling.
As Turhini continues to write and share her work with the world, we can only imagine the stories she has yet to tell. With the same determination that has already driven her to publish her first book and win literary awards, she is destined to join the ranks of the authors she admires, creating a legacy that inspires generations to come.
For now, she remains focused on her mission: to remind every reader that no matter where you come from or what challenges you face, your journey—your story—is worth telling. And in that telling, there is always hope, strength, and the potential for change.
