I loveeeeee watching anime, in anime I found an amazing world of motivation, inspiration, joy, wisdom, sadness, and just plain awesomeness. The kind of adrenaline rush that these shows provide is next to nothing.

I consider myself to be a banjara (it is also the name of the tribe that I belong to) as I take pleasure in traveling. Every place we visit adds something to our story and makes us humble in realizing how little we know and how tiny our worlds are.

Life has been kind. It has guided me on the path that has my heart. Teaching was never a career option for me, but over the years I realized how beautiful and meaningful the job is, so here I am trying to learn the craft of teaching.

I believe classrooms are magical spaces where it's not just the students who learn; we as teachers also get to learn a lot.

looking forward to learning from you all.

Few things to keep in mind before coming to class

1. If you are hungry feel free to bring a snack to munch on or a coffee to drink, I don't want my students to be hungry in class😅.

2. we will try to have lots of fun and also learn together. so don't forget to bring your smile!😄

Love,
Nikhil

If you are wondering what ‘Viny’ means, then let me break it to you, my name, much like the light (or dare I say the night sun) at Sagar, is meaningless. 

I am a theatre kid. I have done theatre for 6 years, starting my own theatre company in 2015 and running it till 2019, after which the pandemic forced me into dissolving the same. Theatre has always been my home. Hearing people cherish their childhoods was always bittersweet for me, because I did not have one to begin with. Theatre provided me with a way to sort of live a part of it, through characters. 
My love for arts is unparalleled. I am of the arts and for the arts.

I am a huuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggeeeeeeeeeeeeee Queen fan. The escape from reality that Freddie provides me with is unmatched. Their music makes me feel as if I’m floating around, in ecstasy. How I discovered queen is another silly little story. Growing up, I did not have any friends, and was sort of a wannabe edgy kid. My wannabe-ness got me into the world of internet at a very, VERY young age, at a time when internet was going through a social media revolution, changing its face forever, and it led a series of bad experiences. However, I remember stumbling around a video on YouTube in 2009. It was a lyric video of the song I want to break free by Queen, and I knew that I’ve fallen in love. I know that this tale is strange, but its true.

I sing a little. You can find me humming here and there around the campus. I also loveeeeeee cooking, especially baking! Baking for me is therapeutic, taking away all my stress and filling me with the sweetness of serenity. 

I love fashion and parallel cinema! I might not seem like one, but I am a huge gore freak! The beauty of parallel cinema is ethereal. Its eccentric but true, out of the place but exact, abstract but in sequence. It is just magical.

I am a huge advocate of intersectionality and education for all. I believe activism (or any social welfare) is not activism if its not intersectional.

If I was to describe myself in a word, I would say I am ‘Queer.’
I am a misfit. I do not blend in. I cannot blend in.  I don’t want to. “Oh, I was not made for heaven. No, I don't want to go to heaven. Hell is much better.”- Freddie Mercury.

I wanna stand out, but naturally. I wanna make it big, but not at the cost of somebody else’s loss. I want it to be about us, and not just me. 

Yours,

Viny <3

 

 

hello, i am priyamvada. 

i'm from kochi, kerala and the city, it's noise and pollution, it's art and people, the stories etched into every corner are an integral part of my very bones. 

my personality is composed of being a humanities kid and listening to the agustd trilogy till i am dust and ashes. you can find me most often rotting in my bed with my offensively white headphones perched on my head like a crown, consuming whatever i'm fixated on at the moment. 

you can also find me crying over cats, the neighborhood being on hiatus, banana fish, emotional support kpop boys and the social and economic state of the world . 

i prefer my own company above most, though existing silently with the people i love is something i cherish.

i like poetry, reading (fanfiction lovingly included), fashion and jewelry, art galleries and aggressively dyeing my hair at any given opportunity.  i live, debating between comprehending the vastness of the universe and hissing at people for getting my name wrong (don't).

<3, priyamvada

 

I might seem a bit awkward at first as socialising is not a skill I posses as a chronic introvert who drools at the mere thought of alone time. I do love exploring different places and sharing new memories with the people I love, though. But most of the time it might be really hard to catch me outside of my room. Oops.

I have enjoyed reading since I was a wee thing thumbing through the thick, glossy and beautiful pages of children’s books (As an adult I am more biased to the colourful world of superheroes with an occasional serving of the canons of literature. AND not to forget some tastefully written fanfiction). As a corollary I do enjoy writing too. The quality of the things I write is questionable but the process is definitely therapeutic for me.

I enjoy scouting out essays and books on politics and society, along with listening to discourses and commentaries about contemporary issues. I have found that it allows me to have a better understanding of the things happening around me.

I also enjoy a ton of lighter pleasures like watching spooky documentaries, sitcoms, short films and silly buzzfeed videos. You can always count on me to binge on the Hollywood classics  from the ‘80s and the ‘90s (I can watch The Breakfast club, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller and their likes on loop without even blinking) along with the old gems of the Indian film Industry. 

I also have a frankly scary obsession with superheroes from morally grey heroes like Natasha Romanoff, Bucky Barnes and Eric Leshnerr to the bright beacons of hope like Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, Kamala Khan and Peter Parker. Whenever I am feeling down I read a comic book or two, because sometimes all we want is for someone to save us, right?

My favourite hobby is sulking in my bed and/or sleeping. And when I am not doing that, you can find me watching anime (or crying over Ash and Eiji to be precise)....from my bed. I also enjoy playing games (Genshin Impact) and reading manga. So far I only read and watch mainstream things but the dark side will slowly persuade me.

Another thing that keeps me sane during tough times( cough college cough) is music. I support many emerging artists who I find on Instagram but my all-time favourite artist is Miss Taylor Swift. The goddess. The music industry. The mother of all. The queen of metaphors. The mastermind. The one who has my heart, my hips, my body, my love (in a sing-song Easter eegggg). I had to do it. I just HAD to. The grip she has on me???? Maaaaaan.

If I had to weigh my love for Taylor Swift with anything else, I would level it with animals. Dogs, cats, mice, snakes, snails, porcupines. You name it, and I want to pet it. They are just so adoooorraaaaabbblllleeeeeee

I have two dogs (A hyperactive pug, Simba(1.7), and a very chill golden, Sandy(4)) at home who I very dearly miss and even cry over when I feel too emotional. They are my babies. My life. My everything. Nothing matters more than them. Nothing, I tell you. So if you want to have a conversation about any of the above-mentioned things, you are welcome to talk to me and can fangirl about it together.

PS. I also draw sometimes when I feel like it. and I didnt want to extend on this matter so added it as a post-script.

Buh-Bye,
Poshali
