From 1992-2004… Specially known for having represented India on the International Gospel Music platform, likely to also be one of Indian origin that has brought out as many English albums (records), be it in the gospel or secular circuit. An established representation from India all over the world, in the realm of Worship, both Catholic and Non-Catholic. Also one of the first from India to do a Live Worship Album.

A Singer-Songwriter, who was also a Worship Leader, Preacher and Teacher of God’s Word, interdenominational, welcomed in all Churches without denominational differences, and continued to have an incredible outreach, especially among young people, despite her wilderness experience. This continued after 2004 with a self-imposed seclusion interspersed with occasional but few outreaches.

2010 – Started blogging.

Random and profound moments and thoughts in a lifetime - that I am proud and not ashamed of. Having kept a peculiar silence for more than a decade, while singing and preaching all over the world... There came a time when the fabric of that silence was misinterpreted and misunderstood (even by people who journeyed close with me through life) if I continued to remain reticent... and therefore I started talking... Starting with what I thought people had a right to know (for I spoke so much, except for that small detail of truth, the knowledge of which would perhaps not have given me ears for any more talk), also clarifying the "mute moments" to dispel doubt, speaking for myself (for I would be the only one I could trust to speak for me). It's like the frozen embers started burning... I know the scars will always remind me, the losses continue to stay lost. Let no one judge no one. Let no one judge me also. Let no one suggest the way forward. I am still in the arms of a loving God and at peace not knowing where He's taking me. Pensive... From that pinnacle I scribble my random musings. All that I say henceforth is with the larger picture in mind. Mostly happy. Well, I tried... - Swapna
