I’d describe myself as a thoughtful, curious person with a deep love for stories, landscapes, and culture. I’m from the Western Himalayas, and a lot of my interests revolve around folklore, poetry, and the way traditions shape everyday life. I'm a first year PhD scholar of folklore and poetry so I spend much of my time reading and writing, but I also draw folk-inspired artwork and make music (dark folk, black metal, ambient) whenever I can.I enjoy slow, meaningful conversations, learning about different places, and developing an understanding of how people live and think across the world.
