Product Review: Kanwrite Heritage Fountain Pen and Krishna Lyrebird Turquoise Blue Ink

Ever since I’ve begun seriously cultivating my newfound hobby of collecting and using fountain pens, two things have happened, both of which were, sort of, but understood: my clarity of thoughts and handwriting have improved. But, those are in addition to the “wows” I receive when I flaunt my collection. Today’s post is about the Continue reading

The Folklore of Settling the Score

Crumpled papersYet again blurt this lore.Akin to the silent lipsThat confess the days of yore. Fragments of paragraphsYet again rise from ashes to roar.Akin to the shards of the glassThat once kept her thirsty for more. Stories of the unknownYet again begin to pore.Akin to some deepest secretThat once lay riddled fore. Shreds of torn Continue reading

Documentation Insights: My Derivation of a Design Thinking Technique

While I can never understate the importance of documentation standards, its inspiration or source is often overlooked. Today, organizations have their own sets of guidelines. So, when my manager asked me to create a set of guidelines for my team, I took to it with the utmost consideration. I realized later that the care I… Continue reading

The journalist, too, paid her heavilyAfter all, she didn’t speak for Continue reading

About Me

I am a writer by passion and profession. I eat, speak, and sleep writing—although, not always in the same order. My work journal enlists sales, writing and editing, and technology stints. I can adapt to changes, and learn from challenges with the curiosity levels of a baby. I like to share stories—as if you hadn’t guessed that one yet. When I am at my work desk, my team knows me for my translation skills: I translate complexities into solutions. I authored and published The Write Stride – A Conversation with Your Writing Self in 2017 and The Dogfight and the Lone Peacekeeper in 2021. Both books are available on Amazon.
