While graduating from Delhi University, I fell in love with the books. After being an avid reader and dairy writer for years. I nurtured my dream to be a writer but lacked the courage to sacrifice my career as an H.R. professional to pursue it full time. While I was battling this dilemma, my father and mother were diagnosed with cancer, which was metastasized. At last, clarity was stuck, and I realized I have a story to tell.

The feeling of worthlessness and self-doubt creeps in, but once you cross this line, there is no return.
But what about the rest of the people who are not that lucky or lack the guidance and resources? Their struggle is endless, and who knows if they can ever carve a niche place in society or stay an outcast.(less)

I felt this while reading teacher man, listening to his hardships and how he cursed himself and was thrown out of many schools. Was anything left in him to be proud of?

I connect with his writings maybe because I have tried teaching myself and know the mischief of students and politics of people in authority in such institutions. Such books inspire me to write my own experiences(less)

Preface of my Latest Book

Cancer made me an Orphan: A Memoir

Cancer made me an Orphan

I don't know how or what to write; it's hard to describe the emotion of losing your mother and father at an early age. My hope to live a normal life vanished when I saw their suffering for so long until the futile end. I lost interest in getting jobs and developing a stable career.

I am just living under the fear that cancer might catch me n Read more of this blog post »
