PS: Chat GPT got this right (almost) only after 9 drafts 😂
18 years ago, when I disappeared into the Andaman Islands, I didn't know I was finding my book.

In those days roaming barefoot on the island, matted hair and no mirror, bruised knees from coral and geckos for company, I never imagined I'd one day write about time spent talking to fish, bonding with strangers, and meeting the ocean before the sun did.

Those strange, beautiful weeks stayed restlessly inside me until they returned as pages. Now, they live inside Wrong Turns Only.

It feels like a lifetime ago.
It feels like yesterday.

I never know what to say when someone asks how many countries I’ve visited as a travel writer. I’ve never counted, and I’ve certainly never felt the need to furnish my Instagram bio with a list of flags. I can’t help but roll my eyes every time I see that limp row of emojis sitting under a profile name.

“87 countries and counting.”
🇹🇭🇺🇸🇯🇵🇳🇿🇳🇱🇬🇧🇩🇪🇮🇸🇮🇹

What is that even supposed to mean? A fridge-magnet version of empty pride? A public plea to be featured on Idiot Abroad?

To me, this is the opposite of what travel is meant to do to a person.

What did I observe in my travels? What did I discover about myself? What did I learn about people, and from them? What did food reveal about history, migration, power? What contradictions surfaced between a place’s past and its present?

These are the things I remember, and it's so much more than a number. There is plenty to see, but far more to observe and absorb. Being able to travel across the world is a privilege, yes, but it is also a responsibility. To use that privilege to speak about sustainability, climate change, habitats, and the magic of human connection is why I love travel writing.

Discovering as much about the world as about myself (and other human beings) beats travelling for Instagram bragging rights, every single time.

Behind the scenes of Wrong Turns Only:
South Goa, but not the postcard kind. Eerie Portuguese mansions, rocky beaches and hot, lonely streets spiked with the aroma of jackfruit and feni.

Throwback to reporting from the charming Thai town of Sukhothai, during one of the country’s most evocative festivals, Loy Krathong.

Beyond the floating lanterns in the sky and the floral offerings in the waters below, the festival is an expression of gratitude and hope. A prayerful crowd, paper kites and fairy lights, colourful slushies, and the aroma of mango sticky rice and fish cakes offered me a first, intimate glimpse of Thai life. A reminder that I had much to be grateful for, too.

Wrong Turns Only: Why I had to tell this story

As a teenager, I was trying to make sense of love that wasn't simple, family that didn’t fit the expected shape, and why moving somewhere (anywhere) felt easier than staying where I was.

I didn’t have language for it then. I do now.

The book came from growing up without neat answers. It’s the book I needed when I was younger, and the one I had to write once I knew how.

Grateful to finally share that my upcoming YA novel, Wrong Turns Only, has been acquired by Rupa Publications and will be releasing in 2026.

This story has lived with me for years, through drafts, discovery, and a few actual road trips.

PS: This is not the book cover, just a version of a photograph I took in Sri Lanka, in 2015.

Hello, please allow me to re-introduce myself on Instagram:

I’ve been a journalist for two decades now, hopping between newsrooms and magazines in Mumbai and Dubai but I’ve always carried a quiet love for fiction, folklore, and the kind of tales that linger.

Tales from the Himalayas was my first step into that world, a collection of stories shaped by childhood memories, mountain landscapes, and the storytelling magic of my grandmother. It went on to travel farther than I ever imagined, finding its way into classrooms, libraries, and young readers’ shelves.

Now, this page will be home to my books, my writing journey, and bits of art and inspiration along the way.

I’m so happy you’re here. 🌻
