I am honored to join the regular contributing team at The First Day. Join me every Wednesday where I will write about parenting, living mindfully, and the challenges of navigating both Indian and American culture.
A special thanks to Jana and Mike Llewellyn who are the publishers of The First Day, a web-based and print journal. I am so thankful for this opportunity.

Welcome! I am a lawyer turned freelance writer, essayist, and editor. On staff at Literary Mama and the co-founder and co-editor of the literary journal, The Sunlight Press, my essays and reported work have appeared in The Washington Post, The Lily, Saveur, Civil Eats, Brain, Child, ESPN and elsewhere. I am currently at work on a memoir on grief and culture and how it provides perspective on life’s ordinary graces. I invite you to appreciate the ordinary with me. I hope my daily practice of seeing the magic in the mundane helps you celebrate and find more of these moments in your life too.
I feel this! My thoughts are with you and your family. I am sorry my friend. Hugs.
