About the guest author Suchithra Pillai
“Writing has been my passion and I love expressing my thoughts in various forms of writing including articles, stories and poems. It’s been nearly 10 years in the field of journalism and I am still loving it! During my entire professional life until last year, I was exploring and writing about people, issues and stories related to my home land, India. Currently, its been more than a year in Denver and it’s a unique experience to explore a new country, diverse culture and an entirely different community. In my spare time, you would either find me scribbling down some thoughts in paper trying to find a rhyme or story out of small things or expressing my love for dance on stage.”
