## About Curated Gatherings: From Diwali Parties to Journaling Circles

Most networking events feel like a chore with forced small talk and endless business card swapping. I run things differently. Whether it’s a ‘Bring Your Own Diya’ Diwali party or a journaling session for single women, we strip away the performance. We focus on low-pressure spaces where you don’t need to impress, just show up as you are.

Finding your people in a new city or navigating the loneliness of adulthood doesn't have to happen on an app. I design experiences that help you break through the superficial layers of standard social mixers.

### Why these formats work
Traditional events often rely on ‘mandatory fun’ or alcohol to get people talking. My approach is different. I build gatherings around specific shared activities—like reading, writing, or celebrating festivals in a home-like setting. This removes the pressure to perform. When you are busy swapping books or lighting diyas, the conversation happens naturally, not because someone forced a microphone into your hand.

### The types of spaces I build
- **Festival Celebrations:** Like our ‘Bring Your Own Diya’ parties, these are for those who want the warmth of family during festivals but are living away from home. We welcome guests into a cozy setting, share homemade sweets, and create a family-like bond from scratch.
- **Journaling & Reflection:** My ‘Sisters in Stories’ circles offer a non-judgmental space for single women. We use writing prompts to explore real life, past experiences, and future goals, creating connections that go far deeper than a standard networking mixer.
- **Book & Hobby Swaps:** These aren't just for book nerds. I organize these sessions to use conversation menus, helping strangers connect over their shared love for stories. It is about removing the friction of ‘what do I say next?’ and letting the content of the books lead the way.

Everything I do is rooted in intentional design. Whether I am moderating a discussion for a startup summit or running a small Sunday breakfast club, my goal is the same: helping you move from 'stranger' to 'friend' without the awkwardness.

## About Radhika Mohta

I'm Radhika. I believe your social life shouldn't feel like a never-ending job interview. I started by just wanting to feel at home in a new city, and now I build the kind of spaces I was searching for myself.
