Hi! I’m Reet and..

I first started writing when I was 15. Oh, the joys of being a blogger in 2015! I had the time of my life writing extensively about “fashion” and my outfits. For me, it is the best memory I have from my teenaged years. Of course, it shouldn’t come as a surprise, but I eventually gave up on my blog when I reached the glorious age of 18. Too embarrassed to keep going, I decided to “act cool” and vanished from the world of blogging as I knew it.

Fast forward to last year, a year out of my undergrad and in the midst of the horror that is job hunting, the love for writing returned. I spent my days hopelessly applying for jobs, and my evenings writing my little essays about anything that I found remotely interesting. Eventually, after spending a few evenings writing in my gloomy basement flat in London, I was met with this feeling of "I’m-not-that-good-enough-of-a-writer." Of course, that feeling was just a reflection of how I was feeling about life in general at that moment in time. I eventually left my unfinished essays to rot on my Notion page.

Today, I am 24, moved back home to live with my family in India, finding my footing as an art director, and feeling a lot better about life. These changes have finally given me the confidence and courage to write again. Not only to write but also to share it with whoever might care.
