I am Nidhi Vinod. I grew up in the hustling bustling lifestyle of Bangalore, India. I yearned to feed the sparrows and drowned myself in the fresh scent of early monsoon rains. I ached to see succulent lush greenery around me and always dreamed to be part of the Heidi in the Alps cartoon series. I moved to the United States of America in 2012 in order to pursue a higher education. After a serious spinal injury in 2013, I realised that I have been given a second chance to reconstruct myself and to emotionally heal as many people as I can.
