Books allow me to explore human experiences with the depth, honesty, and emotional nuance they deserve. Much of what I write is rooted in lived realities—because the most powerful stories are often the ones quietly carried within ordinary lives. Through fiction, memory, and reflection, my work seeks to understand the emotional and psychological truths that shape who we become.
Dear Arjie is a tender coming-of-age story about memory, friendship, love, and becoming. Maya and Arjun grow up sharing a world shaped by imagination, adventure, and quiet companionship—until life slowly pulls them onto different paths. Years later, as Maya looks back on the bond that shaped her, she must confront what remains of love, loss, and the person she is still becoming. At its heart, Dear Arjie is a story about the courage it takes to choose oneself.
Sharanagati is an intimate and unflinching novel about love, abuse, and the quiet ways control can take root inside relationships. Inspired by true events, Sharanagati is a story about the truths many live through silently—and why such stories must still be told.
