Her writings are mostly based on themes such as computer crime, science fiction and Gandhism. She received the Shankar's Silver Medal for Writing in 1996 for Gajmukta ki Talaash (Quest for the Jumbo Pearl) – an adventure set in India's freedom struggle, and also won the White Raven's selection at the International Youth Library in 2000 for her computer crime novel The Virus Trap. Many of her short stories have been awarded by publications such as Amar Chitra Katha and Saptahik Hindustan. Her books have found a place in schools as supplementary readers.
