hi, nice to meet you!

I'm an Indian poet, journalist, and aspiring scholar based in London, United Kingdom. I love the mountains and have a special connection with black cats. I've lived in five countries and am perpetually confused by how to respond to a stranger asking me where I'm from.

I have bylines in Al Jazeera, Brown History, The Globe and Mail, THIS Magazine, Maisonneuve, Harper's Bazaar Arabia, and more. I contribute to the STRAND Magazine, started my career as a student journalist at the Vancouver-based Ubyssey, and have been The Ex-Puritan's proofreader since 2023.

My poetry, fiction, and essays have appeared in a variety of literary magazines from around the world. I'm inspired by themes of migration, love, passports, transformation, and liminal spaces.

When I'm not writing, you can find me sharing literature facts on Tiktok or reading books authored by South Asian women.
