About

"Words were the only place these feelings could live."

I never planned to become a writer. I planned to be quiet a polite, well-adjusted person with a stable job and tidy feelings.

And then somebody broke my heart, and I learned what most writers learn eventually: that some feelings refuse to leave the body. They have to be put somewhere. For me, that somewhere was paper.

I write about love the kind that arrives late, the kind that overstays, the kind that teaches you who you are by leaving. I write about heartbreak, healing, psychology, and the small grief of becoming a different person than you thought you'd be.

If my work finds you in a hard week I'm glad. I wrote it for that week.

A few quiet milestones.

    First poem published in Hindustan News

    The words that once lived only in my silence have found a page of their own. My first poem is finally published.

    Fragments of an Incomplete Love Story

    In 2022, I wrote my very first English short story. It wasn't much, just a small dream wrapped between a few pages, but it found its first readers and even sold a handful of paperback copies. 📖

    2025. A dream that had quietly lived inside me for years finally became a reality. My debut novel, I Wish I Could Hate You, was born. ❤️
