She got associated with
International Hindi Association with these thoughts expressed in her own words –
“Few years ago when I was in India, I never thought of working in this zone of Hindi. When I moved here in a few years I felt there is a need to add the support and join hands for spreading Hindi knowledge and awareness, it brings people close, builds a supportive knowledge seeking community. There is so much wisdom lying in our literature which I would love to pass on.
I don’t want this love for Hindi and the ability to interact, read and seek knowledge end with our generations here. I want to be able to bring the joy of knowing the language and culture to our next generation. This will make them connect and relate to their parents and to their grandparents.“
मैं कुरुक्षेत्र, हरियाणा का रहने वाला हूँ। मैं २०१६ में भारत से यूनाइटेड स्टेट्स ऑफ़ अमेरिका आया था और तब से यहीं रह रहा हूं। वर्तमान में मैं अपनी अर्धांगिनी निशाऔर पुत्र अथर्व के साथ नैशविल, टेनेसी में रहता हूँ।
मैं एक सीनियर प्रोजेक्ट मैनेजर हूं और हूकसेट, न्यू हैम्पशायर स्थित कंपनी मर्चेंट्स फ्लीट के लिए कार्य करता हूँ।
कार्यालय से बाहर के कार्यों के लिए मैं अधिकांशतः हिंदी में ही संवाद करता हूं। मैं अपने बेटे को घर पर हिंदी बोलने के लिए प्रेरित करता रहता हूँ। मेरा प्रयास रहता है कि जहां तक संभव हो सके हिंदी का ही उपयोग करूँ।
