Others
I believe in having a diverse range of hobbies and interests. Here is a snapshot of some of them.
Blogging
I have been blogging from 2009 predominantly as The Story Teller" . Recently, I've shifted to Medium where I have written posts on both non-technical and technical material.
Bharatanatyam
I enjoy both the performance and viewing of classical dance concerts. As a dance form that has been around for 2000 years, it feels like a brush with history.
Head of WiCS
I am one of the heads of Women in CS (WiCS) at IIT-M. We hope to build a community of women in technology to nurture talent and offer solidarity. We were featured here!
