When one truly lives, they experience both happiness and sadness. They go through hardships and they celebrate. They make small decisions that make big waves. They make mistakes of course, as all do. No one is exempt from this. That is what it means to live. Though nothing is permenant in anything but our memories, we continue to live. Through every incident and every pleasure. For what is joy without tragedy and death without life?

The first and foremost among the travails of those forced to wander is determining whether they have arrived at a pitstop or a potential home. It is a meandering train of thought that lends clarity whilst simultaneously muddying the same pond. Having been forced into that position, I have penned my observation of the mundane that flits through the daily chorus. This collection features a series of poems from the perspective of a traveller who has little choice but to celebrate the ordinary in order to discover the extraordinary.

""I've Been Meaning To Write is the physical home for the poetry I've written between ages 15 & 20. Although I've been writing for a lot longer than this, my poetry has refined and changed course as I've gotten older. This book is therefore an ode to this stage of my life. To me, I've Been Meaning to Write is a testament to the fact that the intense emotions we feel every day are meant to be felt. Joy, anger, sorrow, love are all unimaginably beautiful when seen through a retrospective lens, and as humans, it's what showcases our individuality. No one person has moved through life the same way another has. I opine that the pattern of emotions we feel and are most inclined to feel is what forms us. It gives us uniqueness in a world where disassembling and removing uniqueness is the norm. Although I've been at odds with my own emotions countless times, I've grown to realize their importance. Through my poetry, you'll definitely see me at my lowest, but also when I felt undefeatable. Going through this journey with me will be a rollercoaster, but I wouldn't have it any other way. So, while you're reading this book, try to remember - Feelings make life worth living: )""

""The autobiography opens with a curious question, prompting readers to ponder the identity of the author, whom political figures begrudgingly label a "farzi reporter". This initiates a journey into her past, into a life that is nothing short of cinematic. This a story of a girl with an everlasting influence of a completely unconventional father, which in turn would "brad" the contemplation of the author, forever. A small-town naïve girl, who never played safe, from overcoming family stereotypes traveled the arduous distance to chase her dreams in India's bustling cities and achieve what many can only aspire to achieve. Throughout her journey, she cultivated a diverse career encompassing roles in news anchoring, writing, television production, direction and investigative reporting. Venturing into undercover reporting at a time when female presence in the field was rare, the author defied traditional journalistic standards. Despite lacking formal education in journalism, she immersed herself so deeply in grave matters that rattled the foundation of national news. Behind the scenes, she emerged as an unsung hero, crafting some of the most impactful investigative stories that dominated headlines across major news channels. The internal conflict of a mother torn between the demands of her career and the heart-wrenching decision to leave her one-year-old baby behind is deeply poignant. The narrative then unfolds into her gripping investigations, showcasing her courage as an undercover reporter. But what makes this journey exciting is how many times she unfailingly sails through with sheer perseverance. There are many women who choose the "less-chaotic" path, but the author decides to "stand her ground" and "carve her own niche". It is a journey of trials and tribulations, successes and failures, frustration and hope to finally triumph. Her narratives have the power to evoke strong emotions in readers. With an unending trail of challenges, the author displays incredible amount of fortitude to tread forth! This is a story of repeated resurgence from ground zero, of a fighter who never gives up. It is a remarkable evolution of a timid, introverted girl into a confident, empowered woman. It truly embodies the essence of female empowerment and celebrates the indomitable spirit of womanhood. It resonates with every woman striving to challenge societal norms and honors the resilience and strength inherent in womanhood. ""
