As I stand here on the threshold of a world alluring and new, I look back at the roots which have nourished and grounded me in my life thus far. I reach out to open the window to my soul, to offer a glimpse of who I truly am.

A classical Odissi dancer with an invocatory prayer in her mind. An artist presenting her soul on a visual palette. A writer expressing her expression with her imperfect words, and a poet pouring out her creative energy in verse.

A social entrepreneur driven by the ambition to create a more inclusive, and sustainable world. And an aspiring scientist, fueled by research, propelled by the promise of discovery, and a passion for exploration.

And, perhaps, someone for whom sensitivity, self-discipline, and integrity are a quintessential part of her life. A resilient non-conformist, following her heart and dreams, and striving to be compassionate, graceful, and generous in spirit all the while.
