I am the first Indian woman composer to publish such a book of piano pieces called Easy Piano Melodies sold by Furtados.

I have been a great lover of music since my childhood and have now developed a passion for it.

I do not know who I am but I believe in two things... Love and Music, which are like two wings of my soul. I love to sing and compose music but I do not choose what I compose... it chooses me. I express myself and my thoughts better with music. I love different kinds of music. My Favorites are Dance, Gospel, Lebanese and Romantic music with good lyrics. Besides music I love dancing, exercising & Yoga.
I love children and love to teach them. I love poor and humble people.
