My affair with words began at a young age. Being the only child I shared my emotions with paper and pencil, churning out every now and then what people called poems. To me they were a reflection of my heart’s feelings – a companion in my lonely hours.When I found a friend, a partner, a soul mate in my marriage the poetry died but the love for words remained. I drew to journalism and started writing features for local newspapers and magazines. Over the years I have allowed the writer in me to explore all areas of interest – health, beauty, fashion, food, lifestyle, people, parenting and even events. Its been a great adventure – following my heart to uncover the world of words and growing as a person from within.
