This was my finalised script for a short film that I ended up sending to Netflix as part of a LGBTQ Writers Short Film Script Writers Program organized by the Queer Muslim Project. A quirky little tale about heartbreak and bad decisions you can make if you got a ghost buddy willing to do some magic trickery, lesbians make bad decisions, break down and be wonderfully, humanistically hungry.
Bardic Engineers: When the Ostinati, the Ultimate Artist’s favored people, found a series of arpeggios in the base equation at a remote corner of the universe, they changed space travel forever.

Its 1889, deeply closeted Cecil du Petrie is poised to take his place as the posh heterosexual gentleman in Victorian high society when his parents die leaving him bankrupt.

A short film script I had written as part of my first assignment in grad school. It's a little clunky within the limitations of the initial assignment butI was really fascinated with combining magical realism and family trauma, which is now kind of my thing lol.

This was a short script I had written for the Terribly Tiny Tales Scriptwriting Competition 2017. Got a certificate and everything :-D
This is one my favourite things I've ever written. It's a short beautiful story on forbidden love transcending generations of the same family. The first story is an epistolary one communicated via letters. The second part of the story is written by the later generation reading these letters.
This is a short story I wrote in a 2-week writing workshop. It is a modern Indian take on Medea by Euripides. It deals with themes of women's contributions to politics being overlooked as well as religious conflicts in India.
