I write from the standard deviation in a world built for the mean. Indian born in the UAE, writing from Italy. "Where are you from?" has a story, not an answer.

I am a strategic thinker, creative iconoclast and ardent supporter of social justice.

Just another writer on the internet. I promise I'm more interesting than this bio suggests. (Or am I?)

Essayist tracing the architectures that shape our lives, revealing the patterns beneath personal and global events — with a soft spot for human messiness.
