Essay Stories

Being Indian American feels like living in a pressure cooker wrapped in a smile. You're told to be perfect, productive, palatable - never loud, never intimidating. But travel to India, and you'll meet folks who are bold, stylish, confident, and unapologetically gangsta. DEAR DIASPORA, YOU'RE NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER is a sharp, personal callout - not to India, but to the suffocating performance of "representation," perfectionism and intraracial competition that dominates Desi life in the West. This isn't a sob story - it's a truth bomb. A cultural essay that demands real freedom, not filtered branding. If you're ready to sip some realness, break free from the cage of expectations, and find your max pro aura - this is for you. 🍋 Bold. Tart. Sweet. Unfiltered. 🍋 Just like a glass of limeade on a hot day.

"we never asked for life"

This is a compilation of poetries, essays, short stories that's been written many years ago. Some of it might cringe you but please bear with me. Thank you for whoever will read this you will be able to know a piece of my mind.

Sometimes, we look too far, too high up, anticipating every building to be a masterpiece. But whatever happened to the sand castles we molded before the skyscrapers? Whatever happened to the figurines before our statues? Don't they make up something in us? Even the smaller prose works have value, and they will never be lost to history. Instead, they will be gathered in a massive tome: "The Massive Musing Tome." I hope that you enjoy them! -Iyah

A collection of essays and projects for Literature and Composition. It's a much "smaller" endeavor; however, I wanted to release these and show them to you! Due to the course that these essays are based upon, the "format" is looser, and some aren't structured like a traditional essay. That should (hopefully) explain some formatting "issues," though if there are some that are formatted horrendously, let me know. For this book, there will be frequent updates (or as frequent as I want it to be), so these "pages" are subject to change! I hope that you enjoy reading these papers, and I wish you all the best! -Iyah

We're no longer trying to understand - we're learning how to ask. This essay explores how neural networks and a new generation are quietly reshaping the way we think, work, and make decisions. And why this change might be bigger than it seems.

A compilation of essays touching on certain topics that interest me. I always try my best to be as accurate with my facts as possible, so if you find any errors in my writing, please do let me know!

I have decided to start a book of essays. Free flowing thoughts. I started my BTS books for two reasons. One to practice writing, while finding which method of editing worked best for me. Two, as something to do as a stress release instead of eating. I have come to enjoy writing. I do not know if or how often I might add to this collection. The truth is I am doing this for myself. So why, put it on Wattspad. Because publishing pushes me, it forces me to be more creative. While I know that there is a low chance that these will be read, unlike the books, that is not the purpose of the essays; however, in the back of my mind I know they could be. Thus, I cannot just slap words on a piece of paper and call it done.

Naomi Wright's life changes from the day she steps into school after her Christmas break. She thinks of herself as being plain, dull and boring. But after an interesting news arises in her school, her life takes a change for the worst. And this plain, dull and boring girl is in fact an amusing, hot and fascinating child towards a certain someone. For any other girl, to look hot in this special someone's eyes would have been a dream come true, but for Naomi, its pure hell. Her life becomes unbearable, everyone begins to turn against her and no one believes her. All because of one guy... (the story has been edited, so it should be a lot better!) please read and comment, it honestly pushes me to write. Thank you.)

In these essays, I explore representation in the entertainment industry, especially in relation to gender, queerness, and disability. I read often and also have a special interest in the comic book genre, so I think about representation, tropes, history, and society and the impacts of the genre of storytelling quite often.

This short story is based off of an essay I'm writing for school.

A random collection of my own written works.

One thing I have always enjoyed and continue to enjoy is writing essays for the sake of my own internal thought process. From writing things that revolve around societal discourse of certain choices people make to analyzing different media. It's odd and most likely won't attract a lot of attention but it's a way to keep my mind busy while our world is halted due to the pandemic. So if you ARE intrested in my rather strange ideas then please enjoy.

Brief reflection based on a quote from Jurassic Park. An idea about power, discipline, science, and inherited knowledge that kept buzzing in my head.
