Her poems and writing make the realistic imagery of daily life struggle, love, resentment, estrangement, social harmony, caste discrimination, women's rights, and equality noticeable. Protesting voices in the development of society and educating children and parenting information are the subjects of her writing. The life observing poet, who scrutinized every move in her life, loves poetry.

Why can't we make it simple
And say that we don't sleep
for over a decade
Someone cried
The body was burning
with great tempt!
We talk about freedom
Fight for freedom
But we are such a nation
who speak of happiness with illness.
Even with the full share of freedom...
What is happening in this country?
Power is taking away everything
Women, respect, life!
Again,
Thee accused criminals are playing...
The city is sick today. And it is infected by something invisible. Dictatory winds, bright morning In a cup of smoky tea in the late...
Sometimes i feel like
Walking back from where I started
Rejoin life that was disconnected at once
Nothing seems to go away forever...
