Justifying my name that means 'Goddess Saraswati', I have an immense love for words, thoughts and knowledge. I started writing in 2009, where my initial articles were for a local newspaper 'News Matters'. With the advent of time, I explored various other fields as well. I started teaching in different educational institutions as an IELTS trainer and started training students for creative writing, started my own educational institution, worked as a ground staff with SpiceJet Ltd., and so on. In 2015, while working for corporates, I began directing myself more towards writing. I started writing open blogs. Eventually, I joined Cloth Look Fashions as a writer where I was soon promoted as a Senior Content Writer. I was simultaneously working as a Trainer at Kumon India and Sri Lanka. It was all going at a normal pace until the pandemic struck. Lockdown 2020 acted as the best catalyst for me to unlock her immense potential. From a monotonous corporate job, I shifted to be a multidimensional personality with my single thought 'Have Faith'. I commenced my new journey as a ‘Freelance Writer’ in September 2020. I fully developed my blog website vagishajain.com, where I started writing my thoughts. I faced a lot of retaliation along with support. Nonetheless, I just listened to my heart and went ahead with writing stories that could bring a smile on someone's face. Besides, I write stories on social issues, spreading awareness, travel stories, and so on. Working as a Freelance Writer has bestowed me with following incredible milestones in my life in less than a year, which are as follows:
- Author of book ‘Tune into the World of Radio: A complete Guidebook to Radio Journalism’
- Co-author of an anthologies ‘Drizzle’ and 'My Story'
- Delhi State President of WICCI Media and Communication Council
- Senior Writer and Fashion Journalist with CLF Media
- Wrote and acted in short movie ‘Bandish’
- Soft skills coach at CLF International Mega Model Hunt 2020 and trained models from 12 countries
- Covered inspirational video stories of hundreds of people from different walks of life
- Arranged Online Dance Sessions, Story Listening Sessions, Fun Camps for kids and adults to cope up Pandemic Stress
- Host & Content Writer of travel channel ‘VVheels of India’
- Made documentaries for government competitions
I believe, all your efforts are lost if you are not giving it back to the society. I have been actively involved with a self-help group Let’s Spread Love (Delhi wing), where I have been raising funds for drives, spreading knowledge, spending time and teaching self-defence techniques. I am also associated with Viklaang Kendra (Ludhiana) where we donate prosthetic limbs to the needy. I took online sessions of dance, story listening activities and fun activities for kids and adults to cope up with the stressful pandemic situations. Currently, I am also making people aware of frauds and scams going on in the world. In short, I didn't let the world to decide what I should do as a women or what I should not. My friends and colleagues feel proud as when next time anyone would ask what a Woman as a Freelancer would do, they would share my name. My purpose is now to inspire people to break the mental cage and taste the joy of exploration, hope and belief.
