About Me
Namaste, I’m Freya, a Grade 9 student with a heart deeply connected to animals. My journey as an animal lover began in childhood when I first rescued and cared for sparrows, squirrels, and stray dogs. Each life I touched filled me with purpose and a sense of belonging. I share my home and heart with my two golden retrievers, Zoolu and Zoie, who are more than pets—they’re family.
I’ve also cared for cows, a calf, and rabbits, learning valuable lessons about love, responsibility, and the bonds that transcend words. My dream is to become the best veterinary doctor, dedicating my life to stray animals and abandoned pets who deserve a second chance.
Beyond my love for animals, I’m a passionate Kathak dancer, now in my seventh year of training, finding rhythm and grace in every step. Art is another avenue where I express myself—painting vibrant canvases and playing the harmonium bring joy to my soul.
Through my blog, I hope to inspire others to care for animals, celebrate art, and follow their passions with all their heart. Welcome to my world!

My Passion
My Passion for Animals
Since I was a little girl, animals have always been my greatest teachers. Their innocence, trust, and unconditional love have touched my heart in ways nothing else could. From rescuing tiny sparrows that had fallen from their nests to nursing injured squirrels and feeding stray dogs, I’ve discovered a purpose that fills me with endless joy and fulfillment.
My two golden retrievers, Zoolu and Zoie, are my daily reminders of the beautiful bond humans can share with animals. They’re not just pets; they’re family. Their wagging tails and loving eyes bring light to my life every single day. Beyond them, I’ve had the privilege of caring for cows, a calf, and rabbits, each with its own unique personality and charm.
But my love doesn’t stop at the animals I’ve cared for personally. My heart aches for stray dogs wandering the streets, abandoned and unloved. I dream of creating a better world for them—a world where every stray finds a home, every injured animal receives care, and every abandoned pet feels wanted again.
Animals don’t have voices to speak for themselves, but I want to be their voice. I aspire to become a veterinary doctor, not just to treat illnesses but to bring dignity, love, and care to every animal I meet.
This passion is my guide, shaping who I am and the life I want to lead. Through my blog, I hope to inspire others to see animals the way I do—not as creatures beneath us, but as beings that make our world brighter and our hearts fuller.
Together, let’s make a difference for those who give us so much without ever asking for anything in return.
Dancing to the Rhythm of My Dreams
Kathak is not just a dance form to me—it’s a soulful connection to my heritage and a way to tell stories that words often fail to express. For the past six years, I’ve trained at Nupur Academy in my home town Anand under the inspiring guidance of my Kalaguru, Ms. Seema Shah. Each beat of the tabla and every rhythmic ghungroo chime has been a step forward in my journey as a Kathak dancer.
I’ve been fortunate to perform on various stages, showcasing the elegance of Kathak and the vibrant colours of Indian folk dances. One of my proudest moments was winning first prize at the All-India Artists’ Association for my folk-dance performance, Chirmi- a beautiful folk Dance of Rajasthan state of India.
But my journey doesn’t stop at learning and performing. I dream of giving back by teaching Kathak to girls from underprivileged backgrounds, those who have the talent and passion but lack the money to afford formal training.
I also aspire to share the richness of Indian culture and its diverse folk dances with the world. Each dance tells a story of our roots, traditions, and identity. Through my performances and future endeavors, I hope to be a bridge between our culture and the global stage, inspiring others to embrace and celebrate the beauty of Indian art.
For me, dance is not just movement—it’s a mission, a voice, and a dream waiting to touch lives.
My Love for Drawing and Painting
Art is a space where my imagination runs free, and my hands bring life to my thoughts. Among all my art forms, painting animals holds a special place in my heart. Whether it’s the gentle eyes of a deer, the patterns of Giraffe, or the playful nature of a dog, I love capturing their spirit on paper.
I’m also fascinated by the richness of Indian art forms. Madhubani art, with its intricate patterns and vibrant colours, and Pichwai paintings, showcasing divine themes and delicate details, inspire me endlessly. Each stroke feels like a connection to India’s rich cultural heritage.
Beyond traditional art, I’ve ventured into resin painting and mural art, exploring new textures and dimensions. Resin painting, with its glossy, fluid finishes, allows me to experiment with abstract ideas, while mural art gives me the freedom to transform spaces with creativity.
Through my blog, I hope to share my journey as an artist, inspire others to explore their creative sides, and celebrate the beauty of art in all its forms. Let’s paint the world together—one brushstroke at a time!
My Sports-Table Tennis
Table tennis has been my passion for years, and being a district-level player has taught me more than just the rules of the game—it’s taught me about the power of never giving up. Growing up in my hometown, I noticed that girls weren’t as involved in playing table tennis as much as boys, and that became a challenge I was determined to overcome.
I believe that girls can excel in any sport they choose, and my mission is to be an inspiration for others, showing them that they can pursue their dreams, no matter the game. Table tennis, with its fast-paced energy and mental focus, has empowered me to break stereotypes and push past limitations.
I want to encourage other girls in my community to pick up a racket, to feel the thrill of the game, and to know that they are just as capable of succeeding in sports as anyone else.
Through my journey in table tennis, I want to inspire others to embrace sports, not just as a competition, but as a celebration of strength, discipline, and confidence.
Volunteering for a Cause: Supporting Children with Color Vision Deficiency
As a volunteer for the Color Vision Deficiency (CVD) camps organized by Dr. Shivani Bhatt Charitable Foundation, I’ve witnessed firsthand the importance of spreading awareness about this condition. My brother, as the Project Coordinator for the Aiding Colours initiative, has been instrumental in guiding this mission to help children and families affected by CVD. Together, we recently conducted a screening camp for over 6,000 government school children. Through these screenings, we identified 62 children with mild to moderate colorblindness. Beyond just diagnosis, our work includes providing psychological support and career counseling for these children, their parents, and teachers, helping them navigate the academic and emotional challenges associated with CVD.Being part of this initiative has made me more determined to support this cause, not only for my brother but for all children with Color Vision Deficiency. Together, we are working toward a brighter, more inclusive future for them.
