On Medium, I am a niche writer since I primarily blog about my life.

In the crowd of gyan — sorry, self-improvement writers — and everyone in between, one might wonder: who even wants to read about what’s happening in the life of one city girl among a million others?

You may be surprised.

I’m nothing special, but over the years I’ve been amazed that people actually read, stay with me through ups and downs, and root for me when I fall in love or suffer heartbreak. I’ve had several male writers ready to date me — even got a marriage proposal once. My partner was drawn to my blogs and flew from Europe to be with me.

For a hobbyist blogger, writing has given me a lot.
