Hi! I'm that girl who used to stare out the classroom window, imagining stories while the teacher explained algebra. Now, I just do the same thing with a laptop and slightly better grammar. 😌
I write because my heart has too many unsaid things, and fictional characters seem to understand them best. I believe in intense eye contacts, in slow-burning silences, in love that isn't loud but lingers like the smell of petrichor after a monsoon rain.
Desi at heart, I grew up watching melodramatic serials with my maa, secretly rooting for the villain because they had better dialogue. I live for the small-town romances, the silent stares over chai, the saree-draped heroines who bite back with sass, and the brooding, emotionally constipated men who eventually fall headfirst in love.
📚 **Genres you'll find here:**
- Romance (the complicated kind)
- Arranged marriages that get *too* real
- Enemies who don't know they're soulmates
- Family drama, with that one nosy aunt always stirring the pot
- And just enough flirtation to make you blush
I adore writing about strong, messy, beautifully imperfect characters. Girls who cry but also curse. Boys who act tough but text back with a "reached home?" at midnight. Relationships that aren't built in a montage, but in the tiny, everyday moments-like sharing a cup of tea, or arguing over which ladoo tastes better.
🌸 **When I'm not writing:**
You'll find me dancing to old Bollywood songs, doodling in a forgotten sketchbook, binge-watching K-dramas, or just being the go-to storyteller in family functions (yes, I *will* exaggerate your love story).
