Biography

I’m an unapologetically bold and outspoken young woman pursuing medicine in India, with an immense passion for storytelling. As a freelance writer and performative poet, my work has appeared in Assembly (Malala Fund), HT Syndication (Hindustan Times), TTT (Terribly Tiny Tales), She The People and more. Notable works include: • "He called Me 'Meri Chaand': Is This Love in 2025?" (TTT, Terribly Tiny Tales) — explores what modern dating looks like for Indian Gen Z. • "In Indian Hospitals and Homes, Patriarchy Still Wears A White Coat" (She The People) — a reflection on the quiet, insidious ways patriarchy operates in medicine and beyond. • "How Skin Tone Bias Impacts From Early Childhood: Indian Women POV" (She The People) — an exploration of colorism’s deep impact on self-worth and social perception. • “My body, my sanctuary: how body shaming affects girls beyond self-esteem” (Assembly) — blending personal narrative with interview-based insight to highlight the lasting toll of body shaming. Assembly is a digital publication and newsletter from Malala Fund, the organization co-founded by activist and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai. • “6 Years After ‘Pink,’ Society Still Has Many Lessons to Learn” (Hindustan Times, Women's Web) — an examination of patriarchal bigotry and societal double standards through the lens of pop culture. • "Netflix's 'Spinning Out' Shines A Light On Bipolar Disorder” (Assembly) — breaking the taboo around mental illness through human-centered storytelling. • "Mumma, Why Don't You Ask Twice" (Youth Ki Awaaz) — a raw, poignant poem exploring depression, vulnerability, and the need for open mental health conversations. • Multiple contributions to the US-based Germ Magazine, inspired by Jennifer Niven's novel All the Bright Places, later adapted into a Netflix film. I’ve also performed original poetry with Kommune India's Scout Club and Youth Ki Awaaz, and contributed cultural commentary to Tape A Tale.
