Since then she has been avidly writing for school magazines, college magazines and of late on her blog. While reading, writing, and travelling she discovered her love for poetry and started writing a poetry blog titled-http://witnessofthemeltingpot.blogspot.com/.

When not reading and writing about cars on the job, she is neck deep into reading classics, philosophy, fiction, and non-fiction.
