ABOUT NEERJA
Life Is More Interesting With Every News
Life, for me, is a series of evolving stories, each filled with moments of learning, laughter, and transformation. From my early days growing up in post-independence India to my career in technology and eventual journey as a writer, every chapter of my life has added a unique color to my canvas.
Whether it’s sharing insights from my professional experiences, writing stories that explore identity and belonging, or guiding aspiring innovators through mentorship, I believe that storytelling is at the heart of human connection. Every story matters because it shapes who we are and how we relate to the world around us.
Join me as I continue to explore and share stories that inspire reflection, spark curiosity, and celebrate life’s transitions.

My day started as it usually does. I half opened my eyes: clear, sunny morning with a cool breeze in our loft, in my city, Dilli; you know the one – if there be heaven on earth, this is it, this is it – penned by a Mughal emperor who I guess fancied himself a poet too. Well I agree …
