Thank you all for carrying my poem Kali as far and wide and beyond my imagination as you did. It still boggles the mind that so many of you, from around the world were moved and affected by a poem I wrote on a dark day. My deepest gratitude. The Indian Express has just published [...]

You are a nothing, my daughter accused me at age 4, when she found out at school that all her classmates’ mother’s had jobs that gave them important titles like banker, doctor, teacher. And such a blessing that has turned out to be that I don’t have one thing that defines me and nothingness offers me the space to be a homeschooling parent, an artist, a writer, story teller, a crocheter and everything else that comes with the territory of being a stay-at -home mom. Being a nothing keeps me out of trouble.
