People’s Kafe is my personal style of storytelling that is synonymous with the ethos of a café! They are my memoires about people, their aspirations, motivations and emotions. My works will take you through a journey of self-exploration and rejuvenation, just the way those quaint cafes that were part of my journey, made me a connoisseur of life.
I have been an avid student of human psychology, partly by qualification but mostly by observation. The art of storytelling has been my proud inheritance. Growing up, I had the innocuous luxury of listening to anecdotes of people from my grandparents during my impressionable days of adolescence. In more recent years, my father has become my sounding board. I realized early on, that every opportunity to mingle with people is a fascinating journey into their prism of worldview, that has shaped them to be the persons they are.

Stories of Human Emotions, Endeavors & Inclusion is my humble attempt to present to you my bank of experiences with people collected over years from the workplace, society and home.
A little Slice of life is my bank of memoires, narratives and short stories with quirks and life lessons. This book is the outcome of the creativity burst most of us experienced in 2020, the year of lockdown when the covid pandemic hit us.
Art has a way of healing. And this I can say by my own little indulgence in art over the course of the last two years that also happened to be the two years since the pandemic threw a curveball at us.
The Secrets Granny Whispered in My Ears” is a kaleidoscopic ride into my Nani’s life set in pre and post-independence India right until Instagram stormed our lives.
The human need for fulfillment is universal, and perhaps eternal. “People’s Kafe – In Eternal search of Bluebells”, the fifth book of the “People’s Kafe” series; is a collection of stories and memoirs that depict this perpetual human search for fulfillment.

The warm & compassionate tone gives it a human touch while personalizing the experience for the reader. Each story has a nugget for you - teasing you to expand your own boundaries of perseverance, belief and faith. My personal favourites are Radha Aunty and Sharma ji...I do hope to bump into them some day! An effortless and easy read - a big yes for you to pick this up, sit back and enjoy your cup of coffee at People’s Kafe!

I liked the simple stories, experiences and interpretations of the author from her life incidences that can make you take a pause and think. Readers who like light stories and love to read about human behaviour and experiences would enjoy reading the book. It has set of real life stories that has shaped the author’s life choices and rewired her thoughts to a better human kind and human mind.

An effective writer is able to distil complex thoughts and ideas into simple, clear language that's quickly and easily understood by others. This valuable quality helps them tackle even the densest subject matter by breaking it down into uncomplicated pieces.

The most faithful bond we make is the bond with self. This book gives us all the material (cement, concrete, steel and blueprint) to make lasting bridge with our inner self. With this guided journal we get an opportunity to have a very honest conversation with ourself and when we jot down those pictures in words, we give shape to our imaginations, they become permanent and stay with us forever. Begin your own journey now. You already have my good advice, all you need to get is your own copy of this book😊

I am really enjoying the stories. They are a therapy for me after a really busy day. Reminds me of good old school days where we used to borrow books from the library and read them for the pure joy. Thank you for compiling them 😊

The vivid language instantly transported me into the world she described in this book. A story of the girl from Lucknow to being a Mumbaikar, about her personal life to professional life. The way of describing and writing story is awesome.

Really liked reading your book. Took me back to my old memories of visiting my parent during holidays. Thea beautiful memories of house, courtyard, garden, nature…and those carefree ties with parents. You have an excellent flare for writing. Keep it coming!

These experiments of yours have helped me unravel a side of mine that I had not known before. I think these exercises of yours have made me express what I had never told to myself in the past. Helps me to know myself better.
