Through Poetry & Prose. By the day, I am a financier, dealing with stock markets and by the night, I hoodwink as a writer, penning those frequent musings. But my favorite job, which I do 24/7, is that of a mother to two beautiful babies. This is the role that frequently visits this blog. So please, join me as I curate and communicate my stories.

They say you have two lives and the second one starts when you realize you have just one.
In 2013, I embarked on the journey of writing poems about the joys and struggles of being a new mom. Rhyming words became my solace, my therapy in the whirlwind of diapers and sleepless nights. Many loved my writing but despite their encouragement to publish my thoughts, the idea filled me with doubt. Who would want to read the musings of a sleep-deprived mother?

My mommy heart aches albeit with a bit of a relief to realize that I no longer am a mother of infants.

The “two (babies) under 5 (years)” days that bled into nights and nights that turned me into a zombie have vanished too.
