Home maker and tea snob. A lover of psithurism and petrichor...and everything in between. Unapologetic night owl. Hopeless optimist. My opinion pieces have found space in The Hindu, The Times of India, Deccan Herald, eShe, Kitaab, ShethePeople, Outlook Traveller and several others. Co-author in over forty domestic and international literary anthologies and magazines, both in print and digital versions. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and book reviews fuel my pen. Picked up a few awards from Women's Web, TMYS, S7, Wordweavers, Rupa Publications, and the University of Hawaii. Publishing a stand-alone book, however, is not up my alley. Just like creative events that hinge on public voting. Reading and music help me unwind. Travelling to picturesque Indian destinations is what floats my boat. I take lessons in love, loyalty and resilience from my brood of community dogs every single day. I live with my family in Bangalore, India.
