Biography
A woman’s desire is to be unique – she is the goddess that is not idolized. She is deity that is not adored. She is commotion, the calm. She is mystery, the tempest. She is celestial and earthy, innocent and erotic. Thirteen years ago, I decided to spend some time Going around India. Inspiration was on every street corner. Colors, fragrance, the architecture – I was captivated, enthralled and hypnotized. True to my wish for freedom, I brought inspiration from different culture, which became my aspiration for Research on “Fibers.”
Married into an Education environment, with a family of Educationist. I developed a keen foresight for creative and innovative teaching an eye for details and passionately writing about different Fibers, Textiles and Costumes.
