She likes to write poetry that is founded in realism or pseudo-realism, and calls it ‘poetry with a purpose.’ Her childhood was spent in Africa, specifically, Liberia and Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo). Although she has a full-time job, she uses her free time to write poems and create art. She is originally from Kerala, the southernmost state of India. But she currently lives in Chennai with her husband and daughter.view less
