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. ❤️

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.
