Hi, welcome.
It’s a bit of a miracle you’re here. In this vast world of digital debris, you somehow found me and decided to spend your precious time here. Thank you.
Aside from being a mother, writer is how I know myself. I explore a wide range of topics, mostly because I’ve always convinced myself I’m a wannabe polymath.
I write because it is a matter of sustenance, and I truly hope these words can become a refuge for you too. ❤️

I will either find a way, or make one. Below are all the articles, podcasts and vlogs I have published so far.
Why the World Is Finally Slowing Down: The Rise of the Slow Thought Revolution
I've been noticing an interesting phenomenon lately. The desire for slowing down and adopting an intentional way of consuming information. For nearly two decades the internet trained us to read faster, scroll faster, react faster. But lately something unexpected is...
Perimenopause: Not Global Warming, Just My Personal Climate Crisis
Hey, so I’m not “leaning into” some stream-of-consciousness writing style to sound cute or anything. This is literally what I’m going through. No, not as a raging maniac, although I do feel like I’m becoming one. And not even because my body seems to have forgotten...
Sunset at the Library of the World: Where a World of Words Meets the Mediterranean
I still get goosebumps when I think about the wonderous gigantic library I recently visited in Alexandria, Egypt. This modern library built in 2002, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, can accommodate 2000 readers in its main reading hall on any given day. It's located on...
Entamatramu Bhakti Keerthana: A 15th Century Song That Teaches the Secret of Being Limitless
Be Limitless - A 600 Year Old Definition Every day, I feel blessed with miracles around me. This past weekend, my sister sent me a link to a song I'd never heard before. The moment I listened, I was seized by its essence. It felt like a direct invitation to...
Inside the Wild Cage – A Poem by Rachana
We spend an insane amount of time being "wild" only in our thoughts. This piece explores what happens when we finally say "ok, fine" to the person holding the key, and trade our inner silence for something much louder. told youi can't get locked...
The Radical Acceptance of a Book Deal: Lindy West’s New Modern Love
I’m not entirely sure where our society is headed, but I've understood one thing for sure. If your marriage implodes in a strange way, there’s probably a book deal waiting for you on the other side. Lindy West had written a book called Shrill. I had fun listening...
You could’ve chosen to land your eyeballs anywhere. And yet, here you are. Thank you.
Its been my dream for years to do something to consciously create a better future where every one of us is excited about our own potential. My challenge to everyone is that they aspire for their personal best and leave a legacy of their work through their contributions to mankind.
I want us to remember to respect ourselves, our time and our capabilities in a world where distractions are just a click or a swipe away. I also never want to let this idea out of my sight – Our children are not just GPAs. In a world obsessed with metrics and machines, there’s so much we must do to equip our children with real life readiness skills.
In December of 2044, I hope to win the Nobel.
Namasté.
