# My love for arts had only grown with age, and I feel glad to have continued living my passion through dance. I have learned Kuchipudi, an Indian Classical dance form and given various stage performances, including one at Tiruchanoor Temple, Tirupathi.

# My passion for writing Architecture is realised by collaborating with Architects to narrate the space-making stories. 

# Stories are true, simple, powerful tools to carry forward our legacy, values, and systems and are remembered for generations. A story can present many facets and help in building one's personality as well. I am interested in writing small stories for different age groups, considering the contemporary situations and love to advance further in this art of narration.
