I like my environment harmonious and my surroundings beautiful, I love to visit old monuments and buildings hoping to hear an echo from the past, I am not a foodie but I like to cook Mughlai and Avadhi cuisine.
I try to keep my fears at bay.
I have kept moving forward inspite of the challenges; I take that as my greatest achievement.
There have been quite a few: marriage, birth of my children and writing my first book.

Teleportation, so that I can be at any place in an instant.
She dared to dream.
I wish to go back and relive the carefree moments of childhood and adolescence and once again experience the love of my parents in my beloved Lucknow. For my adult years, I would like to go back to my University days and cherish each moment of youth and optimism before the stresses of life set in. When it comes to my silver years, ah well, they are still ahead of me so I wish to create as many wonderful moments with my family as possible and write to my heart’s content.

The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chronicle
At my desk mostly, in the evening.
Silence, when I am alone with my thoughts and writing. Music rest of the time.
There is always a way.
None
To binge on Gothic and Historical mysteries.
The more you read, the better you write.
