Just out here mastering life skills, one career at a time!

Correspondent

Nov 2018 – Mar 2021 · 2 yrs 4 mos · India

For Free Press Kashmir, I travelled to far-flung rural regions of Kashmir to document unheard, neglected stories, specifically on the armed conflict and politics. Over the course, I learnt and adopted several variations in method of writing; having only been accustomed to writing short-form newspaper reports, here I was exposed to writing long-form feature reports of as many as 12,000 words on complex subjects that demanded intensive online and on-ground research.
