I was born in Jaipur. Till five years of age, I was raised in Haridwar. For one summer I lived in Germany and then moved to Delhi (India) and have been living here since then. I've grown up being witness to all kinds of life across several cities so I consider myself a true Indian, but also a global citizen.

I have studied till Masters (in Psychology). I went for one year to study in USA, as well.

I was in junior school when we got a summer holiday home work which was to write a poem. All my cousins and I, sat down and brainstormed a poem. I enjoyed that process thoroughly and started experimenting with writing poems myself. I never looked back since.

When the Nirbhaya gangrape case happened, I had sleepless nights. I wanted to present a young girl who was beyond the streotypes of the Indians society. She wasn't just dreaming about getting married or having a son and cooking for her husband. She was dreaming to be a woman of substance. She travelled alone across the world and was fearless in the way she lived. Through my book, Voyage of a Spirit Friend, I wanted to tell, in a non-boring way, the story of a girl who is imperfect and that it is ok to be so,

I have already written the two sequels to Voyage of a Spirit Friend. I thoroughly enjoy the process of writing and hope that I keep getting inspired to write more and more books.

While writing my first book, my brain started producing ideas for what will happen next with Tanya. While writing my third book, I got the idea of what will happen next. Also, I am inspired by LIFE. I am a rather observant individual and I take notes of what I can write (poem or story idea) about what I am seeing around me. There are times when I have story ideas in my dreams as well!!

I would advice my younger self that she should dream as big as possible and reach for the stars because, just like each one of us is, she is destined for greatness. Be fearless and don't compromise in life just because things aren't working out. These blockages are temporary and perseverence is the key to success.
