Who Am I?

 

Namaste,

A resident of Fremont, California, I was born and raised in New Delhi,
India, and the Middle East. I am a doctor by profession with an undying
love for writing and sharing my personal experiences with the world on
different topics. Married and a mother of two children, I consider my family my biggest treasure. Compassion, tenderness, and gratitude are attributes that I strongly believe are essential for any healthy relationship.

An active Rotarian, Ayurvedic counselor, nature lover, hiking/yoga enthusiast, and domestic violence advocate, in my free time, you will find me reading, sitting in the courtyard- my Zen with my laptop, or in a cafe, sipping coffee and working on my writing.

If I can heal someone somewhere on this planet with the magic of my pen,
I will consider myself one blessed soul.

My mantra: Be affectionately detached to all.
My hashtag: #theboldwithinme
My tagline: Life is simple; why complicate?
My happy pill: Coffee

FOREVER GRATEFUL


As a child, I believed in life’s quiet wonders, and that belief still dances in my heart today. Simple and heartfelt, this book, a reflection of my journey, exists because of the love and support of those who have walked beside me.

To my family—my anchor, my compass, the hands that guide me toward harmony: Yogi, my husband, my true north—you complete me. Rishiv and Shivina, my stars—you are my light and confidants. Thank you for the quiet space to grow, your silent strength, and for watching over me with boundless love.

To my parents, my jewels, steadfast as ever: You taught me patience and perseverance; I am forever grateful. You are my roots that keep me grounded.
To my parents-in-law, siblings, and extended family, words fall short of expressing my gratitude, but my heart holds it deeply.

To my friends, the witnesses of my unfolding—you know who you are. I cherish your presence on this path and am thankful for your unwavering support.

To my readers, who have held my hand through the twists and turns—thank you for believing in me. Sharing the rawness of my heart has not always been easy, but your encouragement has carried me through.

The power of positive affirmations shaped my journey, whispered daily like prayers. They have been my compass, helping me reshape my mind, manifest joy, and remain grounded in gratitude. I found resilience, light, and peace through affirmations, even in the stormiest moments.

Above all, I thank God for gifting me the words to express my soul. In surrendering to His will, I connected deeply to my spirit. I am endlessly grateful for His love, mercy, and grace that flow through my life.
I am imperfect, flawed, and still growing. But with all your love, I continue to reflect and evolve, walking forward with faith, purpose, and a heart wide open. My books are a testament to that journey—a promise to keep moving, always facing forward with love as my guide.
