I write the Woman City column in City Bhaskar, comes on Sunday. I write on issues related to women, comments on the society and exploring womanhood. It is my way to question how things are. I mostly write it in English and then translate it in Gujarati. As gujarati is not my first language, at times I get articles translated too.

I started working when I was 18. This was my first job. Even though it started as a part-time job, with time I was to learn some of the most basic things about research and data analysis through this work. It was an enriching experience which gave me an opportunity to interact with people of different countries while handling various projects. I started working when I was 18. This was my first job.
