I am an educator, author and traveller. My writings have appeared in The Speaking Tree (Times of India), Woman’s Era, Alive, Infinithoughts, SivanaSpirit, Women’s Web, EfictionIndia and Induswomanwriting. My stories and poems have been anthologized widely. I write a weekly editorial, Odds and Evens, for a Social Journalism platform called Different Truths.
