03 · The Guide

I don't give tours.
I introduce you to a city I love.

Born and raised in Mumbai, I've spent years on its streets — running IRL streams that helped more and more people get to know the city — and I've picked up a few good stories along the way.

I'm a psychology student with a soft spot for theatre and drama, and I love talking to new people every day. My days are quiet, unhurried, and made only for one group at a time.
