She takes pains to look beyond the obvious; she pursues her stories not in certainties of black and white but in infinite shades of grey. In her own words: “I wrote because the story was begging to come out.” Never one to be typecast in any mould, she is also a feisty advocate of child rights and feels life is too short to eat bad ice cream.
