Thoughts are like footprints, leaving their mark…
On my mind, without permission.

This blog is a collection of my writings, such as articles, travelogues, poems and stories: the ramblings of a creative mind and an enthusiastic writer.

A dream come true! Published my first novel – A love story in the midst of an earthquake that devastated Bhuj in 2021. What can happen in such circumstances?

My love for writing took wings when I had the courage to reach out to publications. Take a look at some of my published works over more than two decades.

Some journeys in life are extraordinary. It is often difficult to express them, but here I have tried to share some of the most special moments of my life.
Ishita Deshmukh is, in many ways, a mascot for national integration! Born to Bengali and Gujarati parents, she grew up on a steady diet of Tamil culture and French literature (in the lovely town of Puducherry). If that wasn’t enough, she is married to a Telugu bidda. She has this uncanny (and unnerving) ability to switch between six different languages in the course of a conversation.
Ishita is a multi-tasking marketing professional with over 2 decades of experience. She recently worked in a Indian Classical Arts organisation as a marketing executive, organising small to large events with some celebrated artistes.


There lies withinA depth untouchedA part unlovedA hope un-crushed. There lies within,A story untold,A lie unheard,A passion un-shared. There lies within,A love unrequited,A fear unleashedA truth un-hidden. There lies within,A path un-tread.A tear unshed,A glory un-masked.

In a world full of strife,I see you in delight,What can you do, my dear,But be my guiding light. Your face glows with laughter,Your mind’s an open book,Why can’t I be like you,And recreate my own nook? Life’s full of adventureA trail I fumble along,But, promise to change my ways,So I know where I belong.

A person to love, A person to hate. A person to kill, A person to date. Who am I? A person so humble,A person so kind, A person so crazy, A person so blind. Who am I? An artist or a writer,A musician or an entrepreneur,A chef or a mother,A housewife or a business owner.…
