Hi, I'm Gayathri. I've been making up stories since before I could spell them — first out loud, then in the margins of my school notebooks, and now here, where they can stay a little longer than a single telling.
I write stories, essays, speeches, book reflections, and the occasional very short piece. I like quiet, character-driven stories about ordinary people in not-so-ordinary moments — and I like an argument I can dig into, whether it's about survival in classic literature or the mess of AI in the classroom.
Some of my writing has been recognized in competitions and school publications. Most of it has just been the small, everyday work of trying to say something honestly. Both matter to me.
What am I doing with my life? Good question. I spent my entire “career” — from kindergarten through 8th grade — at The Honor Roll School in Sugar Land, TX. I graduated middle school in 2025, which felt bigger than I expected. Now I’m in 9th grade at The Village School in Houston, TX — new hallways, new people, same writing habit.
When I'm not writing, I'm reading. I have a small library at home and another at my dad's office (not joking — there are actual shelves). My favorite writing companion is my little buddy Louie, a cute Maltese who is very serious about naps, moderately serious about squirrels, and completely unserious about deadlines. He sits on my feet when I'm typing. It's very supportive of him.
Also — I'm still arguing with my friends about endings. Especially endings.
If you liked something you read here — or hated it, or want to argue about the ending — I'd love to hear from you. Drop me a line at [email protected].
