As a techie turned poet, playwright and photographer, I actively blog on Substack at Arrivals and Departures and post my photo-art on Instagram. My posts on Substack usually comprise a life reflection, a poem or two and at least one original photo. As you’ll read in my posts, I grew up all over India as an “army brat” and that wandering sensibility is reflected in my debut poetry collection Arrivals & Departures: Journeys in Poems. My poetry and short fiction has been published in The Bluebird Word, Discretionary Love, Potato Soup, Ariel Chart, 433 Magazine, Literary Yard, Tiny Seed, Visible, and India Currents. Four plays I wrote were produced by EnActe Arts in 2021. I’ve also had the privilege of being  a Citizen Historian with The 1947 Partition Archive collecting oral histories from witnesses of India’s Partition, for over a decade. In a parallel life I work as a software product professional and executive mentor to social enterprises. I live in Silicon Valley with my human family and our beloved Labradoodle!
