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.
The Prophet and the Poet: Tupac’s Humanity, Legacy, and Why His Words Still Heal Generations
For the longest time, until it just became too dirty for me to wear, I would wear my Tupac shirt whenever I had to run an errand or just take Yogi, our dog, out for a walk. I can't find a picture of mine readily, but I’ll update this space once I find one of me...
I Walked In as a Tourist and Left Feeling Like I Belonged Somewhere I’d Never Been Before
Selling Our Soul to The Arts I arrived in SFO as a tourist, but the moment I walked into SFMOMA, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, it felt like I belonged there. I was suddenly in the company of over 50,000 artists’ works. The Grand Atrium’s minimalist...
The Integrity Exit: Why Mrinank Sharma’s Departure Matters
Two days ago, Mrinank Sharma resigned from his role as an AI safety engineer at Anthropic. He had been with the company for two years. “The world is in peril. And not just from AI, or bioweapons, but from a whole series of interconnected crises unfolding in this very...
You Don’t Die Once – A Poem Read by Rachana
https://youtu.be/cAahMdoN9J8 - Want To Listen To The Article Instead? - I’ve written this from the perspective of a mid-lifer, about how we get infinite chances at reinventing ourselves only if we’re looking for those opportunities. My children...
Shankara Shankara Shiva Shambo: A Transcendental Journey into Shiva Consciousness
There is a unique magic in the duality of Lord Shiva — the stillness of the meditator and the cosmic dance of the Nataraja. Whether you need to find your fire or find your peace, I hope these chants serve as a bridge to the divine. Thank you for listening. ...
Filters, Fraud, and Fame: Why I’m “Hiring” Kim K as My Life Coach
The Open Letter to Kim K Yeah, once in a while I write posts like these, the kind that disappoint my parents and my kids alike. But, who else will stick it up to Kim and her klan? Uggh, so I will do the needful. This one is going to be special. I’ll tell you...
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.
