Writing was first inculcated by her late uncle who would buy her a new diary at the beginning of every new year since her 5th birthday. She would scribble, draw, list her wish list and hide her secrets. Somewhere between meeting the everyday needs and going to sleep, her diary writing stopped and led her to writing for various print media houses.

Jagyaseni’s professional writing career began with a neighbourhood paper followed by her role as the Sub-Editor at The Deccan Chronicle. But a journalist’s life of erratic schedule posed hindrance to continue her dance for which she quit her job. Taking the risk of supporting herself and her dance, she took to intensive freelance writing with various magazines and newspapers like JFW, Culturama, Women Exclusive, Metroplus, The Hindu in Chennai.

Beginning as a food and lifestyle writer, she has now carved a niche as a writer on Indian culture and fine arts.

She continues to write for The Friday Review of The Hindu and The Sunday Magazine of The New Indian Express and is willing to explore many more writing spaces.

A traveler by heart, Jagyaseni enjoys horse riding. And when she is completely on her own, she is found sitting on her roof-top room reading or writing on curtains and wet crows, bitter realizations and silver lined clouds and her own personal memoirs.
