So be it.: Do you really want to know me?

I don’t know how to answer the “who are you?” question. And why should I, when I can sadistically leave it to someone who may get the onerous task of penning my epitaph. So then everyone asks what do you do, because Socrates legitimized it with “To be is to do”. How does one answer that – do they want to know all I do? Eat, sleep, rave, work, laze, drink, love, fight, read, dream, repeat drink… Does everyone really have one act that defines them? I certainly don’t.

So I am the mother of a teenager and that’s a big task – I spend most day treading on egg shells to skirt a teenage paroxysm and the rest of it adoring her.

I work with the Aam Aadmi Party and spend loads of my time to coalesce people to this platform of enlightenment, trying to extricate political strategies from a foggy head that’s hardly ever planned more than what to make for dinner, and chewing my nails as I see fascism taking root as we speak.

I run a taxi service by women drivers. It’s my punishment for myself. I was looking for something to do and I found what not to do. More about it on

I own a piece of paradise, what I love to do, is be there, and what I don’t do, is get time to be there.

What I used to do most of my life was being a corporate trainer, running a firm servicing top corporates with human resource solutions where in between the parties we did some work.

So that pretty much sums it up – what I do. Am labeled a serial entrepreneur by some and while I like the macabre connotations of that, what I really would like to do would be another conversation altogether.
