Hello,
​
I was born and raised in the vibrant city of Mumbai, India. I moved to the USA two years after my marriage and now, I call Maryland my home, where I reside with my family and my beloved plants. My journey has led me to serve as a Director with The Poetry Academy, a role that resonates deeply with my passions.
​
My academic pursuits have been diverse, with a focus on HR at XLRI and Psychology at Annamalai University. In my prior life in the corporate world, I dedicated five years to professional endeavors before making the profound decision to follow my heart's calling.
​
Today, I proudly embrace the role of a mother to two wonderful boys, channeling all my free moments into the art of writing and the practice of Heartfulness Meditation.
​
The soil and the kitchen are my canvas, as I indulge in the joys of kitchen gardening and culinary experimentation. While I once had a penchant for photographing the wonders of nature, my lens now captures the beautiful moments with my children. The presence of an oven in most American households has reignited my passion for baking. I absolutely love being able to stay at home with my kids and still be able to work - write or analyze handwriting.
​
I've also authored a book of poems that delves into the partition of India. It is available here.​
​
My second book of poems, Please Go to the Park is upcoming by Bottlecap Press. Art inspired by these poems are available on Poetrywallart
​Inspired by my time with my younger son, we came up with a song, Washy Washy. This book is a labor of love, inspired by the desire to share something meaningful. ​
​
I gravitate towards simplicity and minimalism. I guess my website is a good reflection of me. Thank you for taking the time to visit, and I look forward to connecting with you soon.
