Three Names

One Soul

Dedicated site to writings on loss, life, and love.

Open notebook with handwritten notes, black pen lying on a wooden table, and a white coffee cup in the background.

I am an award winning, panel talking, South-Asian baddie with a dash of NDVG and a boatload of romanticising left in me to do.

My debut novel Daydream stands complete at 89,000 words.
