Who Am I?
I’m a writer and self-made artist. After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, I was uncertain about my interest like most of us are. Over other management and technical courses, I opted for a Master’s in Mass Communication and Journalism with no clue where this course will lead me – ‘That was then and this is now’.
I have always found time to spend on things that I was longing to do for years. I am very passionate about art and love to experiment with different forms. Also fascinated by nature and its endless variations. It gives me un-tainted and selfless happiness to be able to nurture plants and connect with nature closely. I also love traveling and believe it helps enormously in the overall development of ones personality. Travel is experiencing things beyond the usual and is consistently challenging, exciting, and fulfilling. I love the quote “The life you have led doesn’t need to be the only life you have” by Anna Quindlen. Because I have reinvented myself with travel as many times.
Also, spirituality, yoga, reading, the art of filmmaking, and photography are things that I try and keep up with. Another aspect that i want to learn and contribute is a life that co existence with animal kingdom on earth. I am deeply in love with dogs to start with and all other animals. I believe in giving back to society, mother earth by spreading awareness or contributing in whichever way possible. And I am mesmerized by anything that will add to my knowledge. I just want to expand in full capacity before its time for the departure.
I believe words are magic. So I write and share everything and anything on this platform that has connected me to the world. Hoping my magic wand creates some wonder.
What Do I Do?
With over 10+ years of content writing experience into print media, coffee table books, magazines, blogging, branding, and social media marketing. The exposure in the industry has honed my skills as a creative writer and a great communicator. I started my career as a copywriter with The Times Of India, the world’s largest-selling English broadsheet newspaper as a full-time copy editor cum correspondent. Then worked as a freelance writer with the Times of India, Hindustan Times, Sakal Times, other publications, websites, advertising firms, and corporates. To now working as a corporate communication manager in a leading manufacturing company.
My venture Art Therapy, which started in the year 2019 is growing and letting me spread art smiles across all age groups and gender. I have conducted 50+ art workshops/events for all occasions like corporate events, get-togethers, birthday parties, hobby classes, and many more in different cities like Pune, Kolhapur, Goa, and Mumbai. With this about me, I have also collaborated with media houses such as Maharashtra Times and Sakaal for some of the art events that were a huge success. Art is a free therapy around us- ‘It’s fun art and not fine art’. I also customize all kinds of artwork to beautify ones space.
Yoga has always been a part of my life. A YTT- Yoga Teachers Training Course from Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, also known as the yoga capital of the world. Health is the real wealth, and I believe if we don’t respect our own health, it’s equal to not respecting god/universe as a healthy body, mind, and soul is a gift from him.
You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to believe and see what happens!
