About

I am not an expert, but I definitely love words and languages. I speak:

  • English (because America)
  • Spanish (because friends)
  • French (because school)
  • German (because school)
  • Hindi (because mother)
  • Tamil (because father)

The language I'm most infatuated with is English and its legion of synonyms, quirks, and inconsistencies, as well as its depth and richness of vocabulary.


"Descended from the apes! My dear, let us hope it is not true, but if it is, let us pray that it will not become generally known."
-Attributed to the wife of the Bishop of Worcester


La langue française est une femme. Et cette femme est si belle, si fière, si modeste, si hardie, touchante, voluptueuse, chaste, noble, familière, folle, sage, qu'on l'aime de toute son âme, et qu'on n'est jamais tenté de lui être infidèle.
-Anatole France


Besides this 'English' piffle, I am also interested in soccer, origami, maps, books, and bagels.

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold


Embarrassing fact: I'm not yet old enough to drive.


he/him pronouns better reflect my gender identity, but I prefer they/them pronouns for the sake of gender neutrality.
