✨ Boston-based | 🖋️ Memoir in motion | Indian American 🌍 Third culture soul | Bad at small talk, great at wondering 💫

A bookworm bitten smitten by the travel bug! How can we survive? If people would listen to their conscience more than the pulpit, minaret, and loudspeaker.

Freelancer, short fiction writer, and award-winning poet who loves experimenting with different styles and genres. Writing is in my soul and it won't leave!

Like all of us, I know I am here for comparative moments in time. I hope to make a difference through my personal writing and examples that support my beliefs.
