She has exhibited her paintings in galleries across India and around the globe. Her art, Suchitra proclaims, is a divine blessing from Lord Ganesha. Having never painted or even sketched in her life before, Suchitra held a paintbrush in her hand for the first time on 27 September 2004 during the Ganesh Chathurthi festival, at the encouragement of her neighbour.Suchitra is a writer whose views were first noticed via her blogs. Her many blogs — first on www.intentblog.com, a site where she was invited to share her views by Deepak Chopra, "art in a body part" and "give me another break," and subsequently on her own site have put Suchitra in the midst of many a controversy.
