In her own words:

An introvert by nature, my personality seems to change completely whenever I write. I usually have a lot to ‘say’ be it an email, letter or journal writing. Little wonder then that I have chosen writing as my livelihood. Being a writer and journalist has given me the opportunity to discover aspects about me I would never have known had I been into any other career. Over the seven years I’ve been a journalist I’ve had many memorable experiences. I have interviewed people from all walks of life- starting from the sex-workers of Sonagachi who camp with stray dogs in the gutter to eminent celebrities in their plush living rooms or swanky cars.

Maybe the greatest thing about journalism is that it’s a form of expression, which has not been put into the shackles of censorship. The days when I was made to memorise essays from second-hand guidebooks to fetch ‘good’ marks in school is now a distant memory- thank goodness! Being entitled the freedom of the pen is a privilege, like any other ethical journalist I’ve tried best to honour this freedom by trying to retain objectivity whenever I write and presenting accurate facts never ever resorting to raunchy gossip writing.

My topics of writing include: youth, education, women, health, food & nutrition, spirituality, religion, psychology, travel, films, theatre, music, culture, society, leisure and recreation. My articles have been published in publications like The Statesman, The Asian Age, The Hindustan Times, Readers’ Digest, Outlook, India Today Plus, Rave, Education World, Complete Wellbeing Magazine, Femina, Life Positive, Anandolok, Health, sify.com and shaadi.com.
