About Public Speaking & Event Curation
Why I Do What I Do
I write and speak because it’s just what I’m wired for. For me, public speaking means sharing real stories, not just giving gyaan (advice). Every event, every stage, I try to make it about connection and a little more love - not the cheesy kind, but the kind that makes you feel seen.
How I Bring Words Alive
- I turn talks into interactive keynote sessions, mixing stories, poetry, and audience participation. My TEDx gigs weren't just speeches - I made people part of the experience.
- Hosting open mic event hosting at festivals and launches is pure joy for me. I create a chill vibe, perform my own pieces, and make sure everyone feels welcome.
- My creative writing workshops for colleges and corporates help people tap into their own voice - we use poetry and storytelling to break the ice and build real connections.
Signature Event - ‘Words & Wonder’
This is my own curated mashup of poetry, music, and stories. Artists get the mic, audiences get their moment. We even split the ticket money with performers - full support, no nakhra (no drama).
Collaborations
Brands call me to write poems for their campaigns, or to turn product launches into a space for authentic storytelling stage presence. I’ve teamed up with Bumble India, Bounce, and spoken at Rotary, Literary Coven, and more.
I’m always up for new collabs - if you want something that’s real, a bit arty, and totally honest, let’s make it happen.

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.
