An ambitious writer, who wants to sow seeds of love in hearts and an aspiring journalist with passion to work against misinformation. Loves nature, stargazing, painting and photography. Finds joy around books and tries to bring smile to people around. For some, a teacher with valuable lessons, for others a kind friend. She hates consumerism and goes for simple lifestyle, as nothing in this life matters much. Currently, she is exploring new hobbies as well as making new networks to know the world better and share her experience with as many people as she can.

"Self image with self-actualisation" was the topic of my speech in TEDx CIC Youth, where I showed the contrast between the two and how the former can ruin people's lives. Simply, nowadays people are too worried about their image in public and tend to spend their whole life idealising this as the most important thing. "Actualising" their image, instead of their skills becomes their aim, which in the end leads to disappointments and regrets. Instead, everyone should stop advertising themselves, but start doing a real job, working to develop and be successful.

I am into cooking in my free time and run a small business of notebook designs.
