I'm here because it is time to realize that the world has found way too many incentives behind dividing us and we must find more ways to unite. Because we must claim what is ours - trustful and nurtured connections in a universe where we belong. So, we can begin from this world, right? And also because a best friend was a stranger first.

Music is an essential part of my being so I am immersed in various sounds of the world (except for hip-hop/rap/hard-rock/metal and anything with mediocre lyrics) Ghazal, Qawwali, Singer songwriters, Jazz, Blues, Folk, Indian Classical (diving deeper into Western Classical now), Classic Rock, Soul, Progressive and Alternate genres are welcome too. This space is a bit limiting for a cinephile but I will try summarizing with a few names: Ray, Herzog, Kiarostami, Kieslowski, Jodorowsky, Tarkovsky, Kubrick, Bresson, Bergman, Pasolini, Varda, Panahi, Haneke, Dardene Brothers, Asghar Farhadi, Linklater, Anand Patvardhan, Lars Von Trier, Inarritu, Mira Nair, Nuri Ceylan, Nolan, Bela Tarr, Ulrich Seidl, Celine Sciamma, Leos Carax and I will keep updating as I gather more light. Poets have been my earliest guides - Ghalib, Gulzar, Rumi, Mir, Faiz, Sahir, Paash, Cohen, Gibran, Tagore. Thanks to Ambedkar, Nietzsche, Kafka, Camus, Manto, Premchand, Renu, James Baldwin and Chinua Achebe, I don't get to sleep too much. Graphic novels hold a very special place in my heart and my book shelf but now I am immersed in non-fiction.
