Born amidst the misty hills of Shillong, Meghalaya, in the 1990s, Brinda carries the quiet poetry of the Northeast with her wherever she goes. Thirteen years ago, she moved to Bangalore for education, a decision that gradually shaped not only her professional life but also her sense of self. What began as a temporary chapter turned into a lasting home, one that offered space to grow, question, create and become.By profession, Brinda is a communications professional, a role that allows her to work at the intersection of language, strategy and human connection. Storytelling, in its many forms, has always been central to her work whether crafting narratives, shaping messages or translating complex ideas into something that feels honest and accessible. Her professional journey has sharpened her sensitivity to words, tone and meaning, while reinforcing her belief that communication, at its core, is an act of empathy.Beyond her career, Brinda is a deeply curious and creative soul. She is drawn instinctively to painting, writing and reading often all at once. Books are both refuge and inspiration for her, offering companionship, challenge and endless perspectives. Writing, especially poetry, becomes a place where thoughts loosen their grip and feelings are allowed to exist without explanation or resolution.Her life is firmly rooted in love, particularly the steady presence of her parents, whose support and belief have shaped her sense of grounding and gratitude. Her days are energised by strong coffee and joyfully ruled by her cat, Smollu, whose quiet authority and unexpected affection add warmth and humour to her everyday routines.Spiritually inclined but not bound by any single religion, Brinda is constantly seeking depth, meaning and small moments of magic. She believes spirituality can live in ordinary places: in morning light through a window, in shared silences, in words that arrive unexpectedly and refuse to leave. This openness to wonder informs both her life and her creative work.For Brinda, life is a gentle, ongoing dance between creativity and connection. She is interested in the spaces where emotions contradict themselves, where joy and sadness coexist, and where meaning is felt more than understood. Her writing reflects this pursuit: an attempt to honour the ordinary and the extraordinary with equal tenderness, and to make sense of the beautiful, bewildering chaos of being human.
