About

Hi, I’m Sneha,

I’m a mother, a writer, a reader, a curious human being, and someone who is constantly trying to make sense of this strange, beautiful, messy thing called life.

I started writing more seriously after becoming a mother.

Motherhood changed the way I looked at almost everything — relationships, money, work, identity, loneliness, ambition, childhood, marriage, family, and even myself. It made me notice the little things I had previously rushed past, and it also gave me a thousand questions I didn’t have answers to.

So I started writing them down.

This blog is where I explore those questions.

I write about motherhood and life after becoming a parent, including the parts that don’t always make it into picture-perfect parenting stories. The exhaustion, the joy, the loneliness, the identity shifts, the complicated family dynamics, the tiny victories, and the moments that make you stop and think, How did nobody tell me about this?

I also write about money — personal finance, the psychology behind our financial decisions, earning, spending, saving, lifestyle inflation, relationships and money, and the financial realities that come with building a life and raising a family.

Then there is child psychology, because children are fascinating little humans long before they become the adults we imagine them becoming. I’m interested in understanding what sits behind their behaviour, emotions, fears, attachments and relationships — and what our own childhoods have to do with the way we parent them.

I write about work, careers, hobbies and identity after motherhood, too. Because becoming a mother doesn’t mean the person you were before motherhood disappears. Sometimes, she simply needs to be rediscovered.

And because I have always been drawn to stories beyond the ordinary, you’ll occasionally find me wandering into books, paranormal stories, Indian folklore, horror, and the strange little corners of human belief.

Some of my writing is deeply personal.

Some of it is research-driven.

Some of it is simply me wondering about something and following the question wherever it leads.

But I have one rule for everything I publish:

I want it to feel real.

I don’t want to write the kind of things that sound profound for five minutes and are forgotten five minutes later. I want to tell stories, ask uncomfortable questions, share things I’ve learned, and sometimes simply put words to feelings that many of us experience but rarely say out loud.

I’m writing from India, but I’m writing for anyone who has ever been a daughter, a partner, a parent, a reader, a dreamer, a worrier, a money-maker, a money-spender, or simply a person trying to figure things out as they go.

If something I write makes you feel seen, teaches you something, makes you question something, or makes you pause for a moment and think, “Oh. It’s not just me.” — then this little corner of the internet is doing what I hoped it would.

Welcome.

Stay awhile.
