Scribbles & Stories
oeuvre: the body of work of a painter, composer, poet, or author.
Stories Crafted with Passion | Scripts, Poems, Narratives, Articles, and much more… My writing genres include children’s horror, dark academia, dystopia, stories of sentient beings, futurism, and science fiction… and whatever subjects interest me.
I have written radio plays for All India Radio and worked on features as a journalist for various publications. I write for magazines, scripts for school programs, and content for websites like HT-Lawyers. I can say I am a reasonably good writer, and struggling like all writers with “is it really done?” You can leave a constructive comment if you happen to catch a word or two.
