My name is Tarun Venkataraman. I am deeply interested in philosophy, culture, and linguistics, particularly in the ways ideas, languages, food, and traditions connect people across different countries. I enjoy exploring these similarities and the histories behind them. Writing has been a part of my life from a young age, and over the years I have written poems, musicals, dramas, and short stories. I am currently in my second year of undergraduate studies and continue to use writing as a way to explore people, societies, and the ideas that shape them.
