She is a nature lover and a garden enthusiast with photography as a hobby. An avid traveler, both professional and personal journeys have taken her to nooks and corners of the country. This has lent her an opportunity to expand the horizons of her love for nature as a hobby into a more professional appreciation of the diverse and rich flora of India. She has used these frequent sojourns to capture through her lens, the myriad play of the plant world. She has been communicating to the general readers, the complex web of nature and environment by articulating in simple and readable form through her regular writings in newspapers and magazines. Of the three books that she has planned, the first one on climbers has already been published. This one on 'Trees' is shared with the nature loving readers, as a second one of the tri-series. Presently, she is working as Dean of the College of Community Science, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad.
