One of the reasons why I love being a Freelance Writer/Independent journalist is that I have gotten to work with around 45+ editors. All with different styles, voices, and intent. They have pushed me to be careful and patient with my words. It has transformed my thought process

I am so grateful!

My most recent for
Architectural Digest India!

This piece delves into how Lucknow’s Awadhi architecture challenged norms, unsettled the colonial gaze, and created spaces of queerness.

My latest for Conde Nast Traveller <3

I am so blessed to be able to write about travel, architecture, food, culture and people.

But, most importantly, on my dear hometown Lucknow, that is so underated and under valued!
