Ordinary people.
Complicated emotions.

I started writing during engineering, between 2012 and 2016. At first it was poems and quotes. Soon I was writing down almost anything I felt or noticed, in notebooks, on my phone, and on my laptop.

When I moved to Bengaluru, the habit stayed with me. I kept writing poems, and for a few years I even used my Skype status as a small place to put up something new every day. I kept doing that until Microsoft Teams eventually replaced Skype.

I thought about writing stories during those years too. I wrote a few drafts, but I never really finished them. During my master’s, I finally had the time and interest to sit with a story long enough to complete it. That is when I wrote my first story, Where Are You?, followed by Tears, and then many more.

I still write from the same place. From things I feel, see, hear, remember, and experience. The stories on DipStory are fiction, but they are very close to me.
