Recalling the time she studied abroad, she mentions how she never intended on settling even though she overstayed her visit. After the study, she came back to the Punjab State Institute for Public Administration where the administrative officer persuaded her to set up an Urban Cell which she now terms a short misadventure. Afterward, she started working with the Ford Foundation project in helping the people in the Shivalik Hills with an extended involvement, which led to the Sukhomajri and Nadar projects. She led the people’s effort in the initiatives for the concern of people’s rights in 1981. 

Furthermore, she shares her holistic learnings from the projects, policy-making, and technical solutions that she was involved in throughout the process. She recalls how the initiatives depended on collaborative efforts and her involvement with the ministry, where a task force was set up. She also remarked on the heavy interdepartmental support the solution implementation process relies on. On leading efforts towards the legislation of the Forest Rights Act 2006 and the basis for its drafting application she spearheaded, she goes into detail about the specificities of the injustices she experienced in the field.  Discussing the educational roles she dawned, she recognizes that she didn’t have the time to dedicate herself entirely to teaching. She shares her thoughts on the conservation efforts in Chandigarh and how she plans on developing her work forward. Moreover, she reflects on the developments in the field of architecture and how it has changed for young women.
