Despite being plagued by romantic melancholy and a philosophical disposition since birth (due to her Australian-Irish-Catholic, Indian-Hindi heritage) she’s been taking her sweet time to get into print. Her inclusion in the 2004 Poetry Society Anthology spawned a desire to see more of her escapist fantasies published. She is keen on photography (she won the inaugural Mighty River Power Portraiture Award) and is a mother to a highly entertaining seven year old daughter.
