To everyone who knew me as Kahani,
I think it’s finally time I say this properly.
First of all, my real name was never Kahani. It was just a name I found comfort in, a name I related to at the time, and somehow over the past 2.5 years, it became a version of me people knew and loved. And honestly? I’ll always be grateful for that version of myself too.
But somewhere along the journey, life became extremely hectic, emotionally draining, and confusing in ways I cannot fully explain. And while writing always remained close to my heart, I slowly realized I didn’t want to keep hiding behind a name that no longer felt fully like me.
So I ended that chapter.
Not because I wanted to leave writing behind, but because I wanted to begin again — this time as myself.
Starting over after building everything from scratch is terrifying. Losing years of progress, memories, readers, votes, comments, and the small little world I had created as Kahani has genuinely hurt more than I expected it to. There were moments I questioned if restarting was even worth it.
But deep down, I knew I owed myself honesty.
To the people who stayed with me through all these years — thank you. Truly. Because you all are the reason I even had the courage to continue this journey in the first place. I could never let go of the people for whom I started writing and continued writing.
