Stories about family, memory, and the things we carry forward.

I write poems and personal essays rooted in family history, heritage, and the quiet objects that hold our stories — registers, recipe books, photographs. My work has appeared in anthologies and on platforms like LiveWire, the Museum of Material Memory, and the Partition Museum. I also write on Culture and Travel on Medium.
