May has been special to me as my poetry was chosen and displayed outside the City Hall, Jersey City as part of the walk_by exhibit curated by Catalina Arunguren. It was a moment of celebration for me to be facilitated by the Mayor and the Councilwomen of Jersey City. The first event happened after the lock down period of 14 months. I also was the featured poet in the When People Speak event curated by Ameerah Shabazz and James Ellerbe. To be a featured poet on the Saturday Night Afternoon poetry by Spectrum Publishing was also a special moment.
Other reputed publications include the Arkansas Tech University Journal, Nebo, Jersey City Library Poetry showcase, Visual Verse, OffMenu Press, and Spillwords. I also threw my ring in the hat as a nominee for the iWGA awards.
It was a special and extremely proud moment to represent my South Asian community to speak in the AAPI Heritage month and to talk about the xenophobia and racial hatred in the community. The event was curated by the founder of an award-winning organization in full color, Summer Dawn Reyes.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts.
I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones.
I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly.
Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation.
Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.
