Two evenings I didn't expect to matter this much.

In September 2026, MomJunction handed me the M-PACTful Mom Appreciation Award at Hilton Bangalore. The same month I was named runner-up at Mrs Social, one of the Top 10 from Bangalore, with the finale in Goa. I'm grateful for both. They're not the community. They're a sign that someone outside it was paying attention.

The clippings beside them are features, not trophies. Deccan Herald, Bangalore Mirror and Her Circle each told a piece of the story in their own words.
