If I haven’t written,
I haven’t lived.
I am an American writer with a French spirit, and an Indian soul. I live in Houston, Texas. I write poetry in the middle of the night and personal essays when I want to vent. I share with friends. I send it to the local newspaper and magazines. Sometimes they publish them.
About Me
I am an American writer with a French spirit, and an Indian soul. I live in Houston, Texas. I write poetry in the middle of the night and personal essays when I have something to say, which is a lot.
I love the process of writing–the thinking, finding the right words, being frustrated, getting in the flow, loving the characters, laughing with them, waking up at night to pen something marvelous then scrapping it in the morning AND eating lots of peanuts through it all. I have realized I want to do nothing else but this.
I practice Yoga. I am a certified Yoga instructor. Hatha Yoga keeps me energized and hopeful through the ups and downs of life. I am hooked.

Voice Of Customers
“The book is very interesting I must admit. I wish I too could someday meet Raghudada. I just couldn’t stop going on and on to know what’s next and next what’s happening. I feel sad to know what the family went through. While reading this book I too felt as if journeying with them. I still feel their grief. It feels real.”
