The Undertone Post is not the beginning or the end of anything.
It is the culmination of years of fear and uncertainty.
I’ve always enjoyed writing—not just the final article or the nice tune of my verses, but the process itself. The messy, unclear drafts with countless backspaces, crumpled and torn pages. That part of writing excites me.
Writing has always been a safe space—for my thoughts, emotions, and ideas. Since my first blog in the 10th standard, I’ve been trying to finally put it out there. But there has always been an invisible cloak of fear swarming me whenever I sit down to share my words.
What if it’s not good enough? What if it’s really bad? What if it’s imperfect?
I was afraid of the flaws that come with being human. The errors that come with writing.
I was afraid of being seen—of being real.
It was fear, all along, that kept me from sharing what I wrote.
My writing never cleared my security checks.
Beep.
Back to drafts, it went every time.
No, I’m not talking about the well-structured, polished posts and LinkedIn-worthy articles. Not those.
I mean the clumsy, raw, and authentic pieces—the human-centric and deeply personal stories I’ve been writing but never shared.
I’m not a consistent writer. I’m not a perfect writer. But I am someone who loves to write. And that is an identity I am finally—not fully, but partially—not hesitantly, but gratefully—learning to embrace.
Over time, the way I write and the way I enjoy it has evolved. Being a law student added a layer to my writing I never thought would come—a lens of justice, a skill that now puts every concept through the prism of fairness. Law has become a non-negotiable element of my writing, society a constant canvas, and socio-legal issues a theme close to my heart.
Through the years—after countless blogs, posts, host platforms, and domains that I abandoned with tears and anxiety—I am finally presenting to you: The Undertone Post.
Here, unfiltered conversations ignite, raw emotions find solace, and truths echo.
This isn’t just a personal blog. It’s a space where you’ll find stories that matter to you and me. It’s not your next-door news blog or an analytical page, but more like a close friend, you sit with over coffee on a laid-back evening. A friend who talks about more than just personal life—about things in society that bother you, about the wholesome incident in your neighborhood, about your favorite book, or about those exhausting weekdays.
This is a space of comfort for unfiltered conversations, raw emotions, and truths that lie in the undertones of society, you, and me.
I will try to contribute consistently to this space and make it meaningful for all of us. This is a constantly evolving journey, with so much more to come.
Stay kind and stay close as we navigate this together. I may not see you at the next event, but perhaps I’ll find you in the corners of this blog—through my thoughts, my words, and your contributions.
Settle in, dear reader.
Welcome to The Undertone Post.
With Love
