Growing up in a small village in Feroke, my curiosity about cities began with the contrast between quiet rural life and the layered complexity of urban spaces. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in International Relations and Politics, where I explore questions around cities, their organization, and the ways people collectively shape urban life.

I am especially drawn to what I like to call the “festival version” of cities — moments when streets transform into spaces of culture, celebration, and shared experience. As a travel enthusiast, discovering new cities and observing their rhythms continues to deepen my fascination with how urban spaces are organized, lived, and constantly reinvented.
