I am currently a senior at Saint Ann’s School and almost a native Brooklynite. I began making this website as a freshman to create a space to express myself and the things I love such as literature, journalism, and film photography. Since starting the website, I’ve planned two online literary festivals with high schoolers around the country through the organization I founded The Young Writers League. I’ve also organized two in-person literary festivals at Saint Ann’s through another group I co-founded, The Saint Ann’s Literary Society. I’m also passionate about journalism—and am now the editor-in-chief of my school newspaper, The Saint Ann’s Ram. I love to read The New Yorker, Joan Didion, Gay Talese, and college newspapers.

In addition to taking photos for fun, I’ve found other ways to express my love for film photography by working as an editor of the Saint Ann’s Yearbook, a book made almost entirely out of film photos. I spend way too much of my free time working in the darkroom, processing and developing photos I’ve taken of the people and things that inspire me.

When I’m not in the darkroom or in a library, I’m running, practicing the violin, finding antiques and vintage clothing, or cooking Rajasthani food. A silver lining of Covid when I moved to MIchigan for 6 months was that I got to learn my Dadi’s recipes from her native Rajasthan. I began creating a collection of recipes, so my extended family and I could cook the foods we loved together, even though we were all separated.

A smattering of these all things, recipes of some of my favorite Rajasthani subjis and dishes can be found here on this website with many more things that I love.
