I’m the mother of a smart and energetic nine-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since 2017. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life which have helped me in penning my thoughts.
I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble a few lines too. I love to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature and can watch the beautiful sunset for hours.
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.
Here is my listing as a poet in the Directory of Poets and Writers ( Pw.Org)
Roles and responsibilities
I’m also a contributing author/editor at Heretics, Lovers and Madmen, Sudden Denouement, GoDogGO Cafe, Candles Online, Whisper, and the Roar, Poets Corner and Free Verse Revolution. Also, I recently joined Ariel Chart as a contributing poetry editor and UK based feminist journal Mookychick as the assistant poetry editor.
