A MONTHFUL OF HOPE
What helps us on our bleakest days?
When life feels too tough,
Getting out of bed is just too darn hard,
And hope is hard to find?
You are not alone. We all have those days.
In this book, we have tried to put together –
A monthful of hope for you.
October 2018 was the month of the release of my first book: ‘A Monthful of Hope’. I co-authored it with Ankita Khanna. She was my therapist for quite a few years and has been one of the most inspiring women in my life. She’s a kind woman with a big heart. She understood me and helped me sail through a lot, and she has a huge role in shaping who I am and will be. Seeing her smile is like a warm hug. I consider myself lucky to get to create this book with her.
This book consists of 30 messages (reminders for the worst days) that Sasha the mouse gives to you one day each for a month-long period. Every message is accompanied by a simple watercolor illustration.

The book shares the artist’s journey so to let the viewer knows that they are not alone, that they’re okay, that things get better, and there’s always hope.
THE SORROWS OF YOUNG JANE
Jane is a young woman, alive in 2021.
These are her sorrows.
This book is a collection of twenty poems, written under #thewritechallenge with Bookleaf Publications. Through the poems, I attempted to list the kinds of sadness I feel or have felt. The protagonist of the verses thus is Jane: a woman alive in 2021.
The title is inspired by my all-time favorite: The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
