I’m Nidhi, a graduate in Multimedia and Mass Communication from Indraprastha College for Women. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had an unsettling discomfort with things that most people seem to accept without question. Traditions, beliefs, social patterns-we’re taught to carry them forward, but rarely are we encouraged to pause and ask why. That discomfort grew into a quiet defiance, and that defiance found its voice in writing. I don’t write just to inform or express. I write to disturb what needs disturbing. To challenge inherited norms that have never been held up to the light of logic. To question the systems that shape us, especially when they’re built on silence, convenience, or fear. Writing, for me, is not a tool; it’s a responsibility. Whether it's a sentence that unsettles, a question that lingers, or a truth that feels like a crack in the wall; I want my words to shift something. If even one idea I write makes someone stop, reflect, or unlearn, then I know I’ve moved the needle. That’s the change I’m here for. And I believe every story, every silence, every illusion deserves to be questioned.
