About Live Poetry & Spoken Word Performances
Why I Do What I Do
I write because I have to. My poetry spills out when feelings get too big to hold inside. Everything I do is about love - not the movie kind, but the messy, real stuff we all carry. I want people to remember how much love there is, and maybe feel brave enough to share it.
What My Performances Feel Like
On stage, I don’t put on a show, I invite you into my world. It’s not just me reciting lines - it’s a space for genuine connection. Sometimes I sit barefoot, sometimes I collaborate with musicians (acoustic guitar, flute, whatever brings the words alive). My vibe is always about being real, not perfect. If you’re looking for an intimate live poetry reading or an emotional connection through poetry, that’s what you’ll get.
Typewriter Poems - Your Own ‘Pyaar Ki Chitthi’ (love letter)
At events, I bring my vintage typewriter. We talk, you share a bit of your story, and I write a personalized poetry experience for you, right then and there. Something raw and honest you can keep forever.
Themes I Write About
Mostly love - romantic, self-love, the stuff that keeps us going. But also healing, finding joy, and the meaning in ordinary moments. My words aren’t fancy, but they’re honest.
My Bangalore Ritual
Most Saturdays, I’m at Cubbon Park near Tree 3315. It’s not a business, just me writing poems for strangers and feeling the city’s heartbeat.

My Story
Chaos is my home, but I’m always poking at the rules just to see what happens. Used to strut on ramps, play with cameras, but my heart cracked open one lazy Cubbon Park day. Lost my cat Leo, got two wild Persian furballs, learned patience and silent kindness. 'Mumbling Joy' started as secret scribbles, now it’s just me, writing and loving. For me, you’re always LOVE. XOXO RN💋
My Work
Personalized Poetry at Parks & Events - I write poems for you, right there, on my typewriter. You talk, I listen, I write.
Typewriter Poetry Experience - It’s not just words. I read your heart, your silence, and create something real for you.
Emotional Writing Workshops - I help you turn messy feelings into art. Good for anyone stuck or teams wanting real connection.
Monthly Handwritten Letters - 'Love Posted' - Forget screens. I send you a real letter every month, with poems and small joys inside.
My Philosophy - Art should feed souls, not machines. What matters most is the love it sparks in you.
