Why Lakeika?

I have two roles – a Lake conservationist and writer, Lekhika in Hindi. Between these two passions, writing always takes the backseat because the lake is a demanding infant who needs prompt, immediate attention. As if to compensate, this website gives more information about my books and writing. I hope to restore the balance some day.

Here’s my latest book!

“The Zoo in My Backyard, typifies the genre (of nature writing) most charmingly. Usha Rajagopalan, in an easygoing, fun-to-read writing style, portrays her large family and the even larger number of animals that shared the familial home in southern India in the 1960s.” Dr. Lee Durrell
