My new feature story on Monsoon Tourism, 'The Quiet Euphoria Of Rain' on The New Indian Express Supplement Page 1 (Both Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram Editions). Being a person who only travels a little, the story posed several challenges for me. I did a great amount of groundwork before even starting, which helped me to prepare these 1200+ words. Happy to have gained my second byline. Published on 5 July, 2024 Click here to see the article.

My feature story 'Men Matters', discussing Men's Mental Health Month and its importance was published on the first page of The New Indian Express Supplement Sheet, City Express. (27.06.2024, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram Editions). Indeed an exciting journey this article had with me. From writing it as an essay titled 'Patriarchy: The Man's Problem' for a class assignment to attempting to develop it as a blog article, leaving it halfway disheartened, and then reviving it in a new dimension, on a much bigger platform, this journey took around 8 months. I am extremely happy that, more than a byline I gained, I was able to reach my perspective and the topic to a much larger set of readers. That is, I think, what the essence of Journalism is: attempting to take the unheard voices and unseen narratives to a wide audience! Click here to see the article.
