Stories for children, dreamers, and restless minds

A late-70s goonie baby, raised in the cassette-crackling 80s, and rebellious through the 90s. Somewhere between tape-recorder obsessions, nights behind the mic as a radio jockey, and a Clark Kent-style chapter in journalism, I found my compass: stories.

But not just any stories—forests, animals, and children have always been my true north. I’m vegan because kindness doesn’t stop at humans. I call myself a sentient friend because I believe the earth is alive, listening, aching, and hoping. That’s why my genres span children’s tales, dystopia, climate horror, and sci-fi—each one a mirror of our fragile planet and the futures we’re writing for it.

I direct plays with DreamScope Theatre, craft worlds on screen, and build ecosystems like Seed Club—my flagship project teaching kids to imagine and act for a sustainable future through books, films and play. And when sound becomes the soul, House of Mishka (soon to launch) audio studio for audiobooks, podcasts, and dramatic storytelling will take over.

What ties it all together? Curiosity, persistence, and the child of the 80s still running through forests with my best friend Mishka. Today, I call myself a creative entrepreneur, but really, I’m just narrating stories that try to leave the world better than I found it.

Every story I make has its own doorway.

• If you’re here for bold plays and films, step into DreamScope Theatre.
• If you’re curious about how kids can reimagine the planet’s future, explore The Seed Club.
• If audio is your jam, wander into House of Mishka.
• If words are your thing, step into Wordsmith’s Corner—my blog and bookshelf of stories in the making
• Or if you simply want to hear a voice that was nurtured on midnight radio, check out my Voice.

I’ve worn many hats — journalist, RJ, filmmaker, director, activist, errand-runner. And if you stick around, you’ll probably catch me writing dystopia at 2 a.m., gardening with retro rock blasting through a radio, running through Bengaluru’s chaos, or watching films that remind me why stories matter. Basically, you’ll meet a mixtape kid who geeks out over rocks, stars and quantum weirdness.

This site? It’s not just a portfolio. It’s my mixtape. Play it loud.
