Hi, I'm Niranjan
I'm a writer and stand-up comedian from Mumbai. This site is where I think out loud — honest articles and jokes about comedy, money, growth, and the strange business of being human. And when the world does something absurd, which is often, I explain the chaos my way. The stuff you overthink at 2 AM but never quite find words for? I write that down.
Some people say I overthink everything. They're right — I've just found a way to make it useful. Or at least entertaining. Read on and decide for yourself.

The overthinking doesn't stop when I close the laptop
Most of what ends up here starts somewhere else — on a ride, at an open mic, in the twenty minutes of traffic where there is nothing to do but notice things. The writing is just the part that happens afterwards, once I have worked out what was bothering me and why.
If you have read something here and it landed, that is where it came from. Not a desk. A Tuesday.
"I don't claim to have all the answers. I'm just someone who notices things, thinks deeply, and writes honestly. If something here makes you pause — that's the whole point."— Niranjan Pathak More About Me →
