A Life in Words

I've spent 14 years turning words into worlds.

Working as 

Wearing different hats, chasing one long love affair with the written word.

My story

Some people read for pleasure. I read for a living — and somewhere along the way, I started writing the words I once only reviewed.

Became a reader at 8, a writer at 12, a blogger at 18, a copywriter at 22, and a founder at 25 — every chapter of my work has come back to the same thing: a good sentence, in the right place, can change how someone sees the world.

देवदार के फूल

★★★★★ 4.8 · 23 ratings on Amazon

क्या आप भी अक्सर उन चीज़ों की तलाश में होते हैं जिनका अस्तित्व है ही नहीं? और ज़िन्दगी इसी कश्मकश में गुज़ार देते हैं कि वो होता तो कैसा होता? तो यह कविता संग्रह आपके लिए है। कुछ ऐसे ही मार्मिक पलों को अपनी कविताओं में क़ैद किया है, कवियत्री आशा सेठ ने। इस संग्रह में आप पाएँगे आत्मविश्लेषण में घुली शामें तो पुरानी यादों को टटोलती रातें, खोये हुए लम्हों में ग़ुम सुकून तो कुछ रिश्तों के लिए त्यागा हुआ गुरूर। यह कविताएँ पाठक के चित्त में प्रेरणा, सब्र और सकारात्मकता जैसी भावनाएँ जगाती हैं और जीने का एक नया अंदाज़ पेश करती हैं। यह कविता संग्रह उन सबकी आवाज़ है जो गिरकर उठना जानते हैं, कुछ खोकर भी ख़ुश रहना जानते हैं, जो एकाकी में भी संपूर्ण हैं, सक्षम हैं।
