Completed my #creativewriting course from @BritishCouncil and I am extra proud of myself!

I wrote all my assignments and attended most of the classes during #AssamFloods under terrible circumstances.

Writing is love :)

[First of His Name @CyrusAgbo]

I apologize to every woman that dated me before I went to therapy last year & healed emotionally. I honestly didn’t know I had childhood trauma that made me as detached as I became each time.

I’m so sorry. I didn’t know better.

I’m clear now. I’m whole now.
I pray you are too🤍

[Aakriti Anand @itirkaa11]

I think it’s time I reached out for help.

I’m on the lookout for work opportunities. Freelance or full-time, Bombay-based or remote.

I’m a writer with 9yrs of experience across journalism, digital media, and content strategy, and scriptwriting.

RT to help a girl out?

Racism against Northeasterns is an issue that needs to be addressed. NOW.

[Sangita @Sanginamby]

Auto drivers can get so intimidating. This guy in #Bangalore is threatening a Rapido driver from North East, after smashing his phone to smithereens. He’s even calling him a foreigner! Gross.

Happiest birthday to the best songwriter in the whole wide world.

On dark days—and while navigating unkind people—you helped me stay sane.

You and I. Biggest interview of my life. Soon.

In case you haven’t realised yet, I love you.

Watched and reviewed #LostOnZEE5, and was mighty impressed by @yamigautam’s performance.

What a well-rounded, confident character!
