My writing journey is driven by a deep fascination with the crossroads where we all stand, tugging at the threads of nostalgia, grappling with our shifting perspectives, staying true to our individuality, and searching for that elusive, genuine connection.

In my latest collection, Unanchored, I explore these themes through tales that travel from the serene, mist-covered foothills of the Himalayas to the fragrant courtyards of Kerala homes. These stories are a celebration of hope, a testament to the quiet resilience of the human spirit, and journeys to the unexpected places where we find our sense of 'home'.

Whether I am writing about places you have known your entire life or landscapes you have yet to discover, my goal is always the same: to find the extraordinary within the ordinary.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

Ordinary places, extraordinary tales

the most heartening stories are etched into worn wooden tables, A dried leaf in a book, memories beyond camera rolls and the unhurried gaze of a mountain dog that stays beyond .

Unanchored

Unanchored dives into the quiet, extraordinary lives of ordinary people. A boy in Rajasthan navigating the loss of the familiar. Two friends seeking a sanctuary in the hills of Bhimtal. A man in Punjab rebuilding his world after a stroke. A couple in Hyderabad choosing a furry path to family. A young man in Daman balancing the weight of expectation. These are just a few of the fourteen unique journeys found within these pages.

The Winter Flower

Just as the world expected her to quietly settle into the twilight, Mrs Hasija kicked off her inhibitions and began a riotous, neon-coloured sprint toward everything she was once denied.

With the insatiable curiosity of a toddler and a penchant for magnificent disaster, she is currently busy becoming Delhi’s most beloved inspiration and its most polarizing headache.

Whether she is bewildering her house help, rattling her children, or raining unsolicited blessings on a bewildered delivery guy, she leaves everyone she touches either deeply inspired or profoundly shocked.
