About Me

Life, I’ve come to believe, doesn’t speak loudly. It speaks gently, in gestures and glances, in pauses and patterns—and that’s where my writings breathe.

It’s not about offering answers, but about presence—sitting with questions, honoring nuance, and being with what’s real. I don’t write to follow trends or formulas. Each piece finds its own rhythm—some born from fragments of memory, others sparked by lingering questions. What ties them together is a desire not just to narrate, but to connect. To understand. And perhaps, in that shared space between writer and reader, to heal something unspoken. Over time, these writings have become a personal archive—layered and reflective stories shaped by experience. Pieces like Tiger Factory, Farewell Uncle John, Nostalgia, and Will Sita Marry Ram? aren’t just narratives—they’re ways of seeing the world: imperfect, resilient, and deeply human. My writings unfold across three soulful themes: Echoes of the Heart – Stories and reflections rooted in memory, emotion, and lived experience. Mindful Blogs – Blogs blending introspection, philosophy, and personal insight. Wild Roots & Wonder – Imaginative, playful pieces that explore the curious and unseen. If you’ve ever sat quietly with a memory that lingers, refusing to fade, you may find a part of yourself here. And in doing so, if you feel a little less alone in your own quiet story—then these writings have served their purpose...
