Author bio

I'm a social recluse but can get on with non-toxic, minding-their-own-business mortals. Majority of the times it's either through prose or poetry that I express myself to me and others. I'll keep it short and simple and let you know about me through my writings. :D

I'm 22 and currently pursuing my masters in English Literature and Cultural Studies from the University of Delhi. I love writing poetry and prose but still working my way through the domain of short stories. I hope you'd bear with me as I slowly strengthen my ropes around it!
