I was born and raised in Uttarakhand. Initially worked as a curriculum designer for the well-known Mussoorie-based NGO, SIDH. I am currently employed as a teacher at Delhi's Montfort School. My father was a poet and an army officer. My mother, too, was a contributor to local publications. My Instagram account is a platform to express my creative self. I enjoy reading, writing, cooking a variety of meals, and I adore flowers. A woman who is fiercely independent and passionate lies behind my sweet words and homely appearance. My husband, two lovely daughters, and Simba all love me.

ESHWARI

aksar poochhti hoon khud se ....

tu svar hai

tu shabd hai

tu muh sil kar kyun baith gaye ?

tu atuly bodh hai

tu alaukik gyaan hai

tu aapna maan padhna kyun bhool gayi ?

tu sagar se aviral hai

tu nadiya ke jal se nirmal hai

tu banjar zameen ban kar kyun reh gayi ?

tu purnima ka jvaar hai

tu uphanatee laharo ka unmaad hai

tu ret ka gharonda ban kar kyun reh gayi ?

tu dil hai tu jaan hai

tu mastishk hai tu pran hai

tu sirf jangho ke beech ki jagah ban kar kyun reh gayi ?

tu janani hai

tu ardhangini hai

tu bas ghar ke kaam karne vali ban ke kyun reh gayi ?

tu amrit hai

tu prasad hai

tu chai ki thandi piyali ban kar kyun reh gayi ?

aaj khud ko samjhane samajhane ka waqt aaya hai

tu sashakt hai tu samarth hai

tu laavanya hai vaatsalya hai

tu aadi hai anadi hai

tu ek sampoorna naari hai.
