So, Who Am I?
Writer. Comedian. Overthinker. Someone who notices things and writes them down.
The Short Version
I am Niranjan Pathak — a writer, comedian, and observer based in Mumbai. I spend a lot of time thinking about why people do what they do. Including myself.
I write because it is the only thing that organises my mind. I think in questions. I speak in jokes. And I only truly understand something once I have tried to write about it.
How It Started
My journey did not begin on a stage or inside a book. It started online — short thoughts, bad jokes, half-formed observations shared on Instagram, Twitter, and Threads just to see how they landed.
Over time those short posts turned into a voice of their own. Comedy became the lens I use to look at life. Finance became the logic that helps me survive it. Writing became the thread that ties everything together.
What I Have Done
Professionally, I work in the tech world in roles that demand patience, clarity, and communication. These skills — which you assume only matter in meetings — turn out to be just as useful on stage and on the page.
Along the way I have explored business development, customer support, content creation, and even writing as an intern for a Marathi television show. I collect experiences like most people collect excuses — but I try to turn mine into something worth reading.
Why I Observe So Much
Humans are strange. We say one thing, feel another, and then do something completely different. I find this fascinating. This curiosity is the engine behind most of what I write.
What This Blog Is
This is not a self-help blog with all the answers. It is not a comedy blog with only jokes. It is not a finance blog pushing investment advice. It is all of those things, loosely held together by one common thread — honesty.
| I write about… | Because… |
|---|---|
| Comedy Writing | Because humour is how I survive confusion. |
| Money & Finance | Because it controls more of our lives than we admit. |
| Self-Growth | Because I am trying to improve without losing myself. |
| Life | Because it keeps happening whether I understand it or not. |
| The World | Because it does not make sense until I try to explain it. |
I do not claim to be an expert. I am just someone who notices things and writes them down honestly.
