Title of the document

Supriya Bansal



I am a doctor by profession and a dreamer by choice. I long to live in a world with a constant supply of books, extra-dark chocolate, and filter coffee. Writing is my me-time, my happy place.

Stressed, blessed, and coffee obsessed, I tread a tightrope, balancing my professional and creative interests. Though I stumble and fall more often than I care to admit, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Welcome to Supriya’s Banter!! I hope you have a good time here!
