This year she also organized a Pride Parade in Dehradun during the pride month which saw a lot of young queer people show up and come out on the roads. She has been closely associated with the BookNerds and other book clubs in Dehradun and Delhi. She’s one active in the literary realm, introducing and encouraging youth to enter and enjoy the marvels of literature. She now runs her own Self-Publishing Consultant company, The Digital Musketeers, helping other people get published and let their words reach the world, in print. She’s soon kick-starting her own book club for all literary enthusiasts, called LitAddicts, in Delhi, being a literature evangelist herself.
