About Me
A Voice in the Chaifry Collective
As a writer, creator, reviewer, and translator, I help guide the heart and voice of Chaifry—a vibrant digital adda where stories brew, ideas spark, and conversations flourish over steaming cups of chai. My journey is woven into the fabric of this collective: a passion for words, a commitment to education and social change, and a deep love for literature that transcends borders. Trained in the power of storytelling, I champion Chaifry’s mission to celebrate global stories and literary brilliance. My books- Kitab Khuli Rahane Do: Let’s Leave the Book Open! and Kagaz Ki Talash: An Unwanted Endeavour, reflect my dedication to weaving words that inspire—a spirit that fuels our work at Chaifry.
From curating Sahitya Akademi Award-winning Hindi and Punjabi gems to exploring international voices, I honor timeless narratives and the readers who keep them alive. As a creator, I blend poetry, translations, and critical reviews to ignite curiosity—whether through our Sipping Tea with Creators series, career dialogues, or Web’s on Fire tech explorations.
Beyond the page, I collaborate with our team of scholars, educators, and youth to foster a space where every chai lover finds resonance: in book reviews dissecting award-winning works, education essays challenging perspectives, or poetry mirroring life’s truths. Chaifry isn’t just a platform; it’s a shared journey—one I’m honored to help shape.
