I am a human rights activist working with Amnesty International India in Bangalore, Karnataka. Also, a freelance journalist writing on human rights issues and marginalised communities.
Have mostly grown up in North India but have been based in the South since the last 5 years.
I hail from a tribal community in Manipur who grew up outside the North East although I have travelled to every state in the region and have lived in Shillong, Meghalaya for about 7 years, cumulatively.
Frequent traveller, whose work mostly takes her to places and that's how she likes it.
I'm a friendly person but also respect your space and boundaries as I expect others to do with me. I'm very accommodating and someone who's big on courtesy and kindness.
