"Swati is a poetess and a wanderess at heart. Poetry is a channel for her to connect with her inner-self and to better understand the outer realms. Most of these poems were written when she was travelling to far-off lands or when a feeling or an emotion burdened her − the poem was thus the outcome of the release of that sentiment. She is the published author of Painted, a collection of 43 poems and has contributed to many anthologies. She is also a minimalist. She currently lives in Delhi with her companion and best friend Vaibhav, in a little apartment facing a huge Bombax (semal) tree. ".
