Her first exhibition, on Concrete Poetry, the poetry in the Devnagri script, "Ansh" was held at AIFACS, New Delhi, accompanied by a book of the same name. Ansh was a step in the letterist movement. The work was received by the father of Concrete Poetry and international Concrete poetry expert, Prof Eugen Gomringer, and is permanently placed in the archives in Selbe, Germany.
