On January 16, 2025, the Anant Anadi Vadnagar, an Archaeological Experiential Museum in Vadnagar, Gujarat was inaugurated by the Honourable Home Minister, Shri Amit Shah. A project incredibly close to my heart, as I have been part of it since the beginning. Over the last three years, I’ve witnessed every piece of this vision come together. Countless days and nights went into this project—whether working in the office, on-site, in an airplane, a cab, meeting rooms, or even on the streets of Vadnagar. In the final months of the project execution, I was stationed at site. Being there as the thought turned into a physical reality was a transformative experience. It was a world beyond sketches, screens, and simulated renders. Here, visualizations came alive, materials spoke their language, and the spaces evoked emotions I couldn’t have imagined while seated at my office desk. The on-site challenges were a true test, but they brought a rush of adrenaline—a feeling that words can hardly d...

घर क्या है?

  घर क्या है ?  घर कहाँ है ?   शायद वो यादों की गलियों में कहीं छिपा है।     घर क्या होता है ?   वो जो छोड़ते ही दिल में टीस उठती है ,   दिल  भारी हो जाता है।     पर तब क्या , जब इस घर से निकलने पर भी टीस हो ,   और जिस जगह जाना है , वहाँ पहुँचने की बेचैनी भी ?   तब क्या , जब घर एक से दो , दो से तीन हो जाए ,   और तुम अपना एक टुकड़ा वहाँ छोड़ आओ ,   जहाँ रहना ही नहीं।   टीस तो तब भी रहती है।     छोटे शहर से आने वाले ,   अपनी छोटी - सी दुनिया कहीं पीछे छोड़ आते हैं।   जीवन में सफलता की तलाश में , कहीं दूर निकल जाते हैं।   लौटने की चाह तो होती है , पर समय नहीं।   और देखते ही देखते , घर दूर कहीं पीछे छूट जाता है।   अब तो सिर्फ कुछ दिनों के लिए लौटते हैं ,   दीवाली की मिठाइयाँ खाने ,   और फिर वापस नए घोंसलो...

The Way You See Me

  Your eyes—  they don’t just look at me,   they see me.     Not in passing, not in pieces,   but wholly, fully, deeply.     I like to see myself through them.   My smile, my thoughts,   my confusions, my stupidities,   my small joys and quiet fears.   The fire in my voice,   the hesitation in my steps.   You catch it all.     You see the child still tucked inside me,   wide-eyed and wondering.   You see the rebel, restless and wild.   You see the woman, learning to stand tall.   You see the past that shaped me,   the present that molds me,   the future I am afraid to claim.     You dream of heights for me, I don't dare name.   You see strength where I see doubt.   You believe in me when I falter.   You hold space for a version of me   I haven’t yet learned to trust.   But I love the m...
