About Me

Writer. Filmmaker. Cinephile. 
Born in the colourful subcontinent of India, I hail from the city of the Chicago Bulls.

I write screenplays about jeans, catapults and suitcases. 

I live in Pune, India with my Mother and my exceptionally perfect golden retriever. I don't drive much. So the inception of all my character ideas, roots from my frequent Uber and Rickshaw rides. 
 
Before I started writing Thriller, I got a bachelors degree in Cinema Arts and Sciences from Columbia College Chicago. There I picked up the much needed skills to better my understanding of the the craft of storytelling. Following that, just to shake things up, I started working in a Pharma Company. I switched a lot of lanes, but now I write full time. 


Right now, I'm cooking up a short thriller set against the backdrop of a rural Indian cult.
