I am a biomedical engineer and scientist by profession and a poet by nature. I recently completed my debut literary novel, To Lose an Orange Half will be published by She Writes Press, distributed by Simon & Schuster, in Fall 2027 . An Indian-American scientist in San Francisco must return to India to untangle a mysterious tragedy from her past before she can move forward and embrace motherhood, in this gripping contemporary literary fiction debut. On this site I will share excerpts from my novel and poems, and my favorite reads.
