I've been on the dl for 2 months now. totally unplanned. 2026 has been fucking crazy. personally, as a family we were all going through a major crisis. i went to visit my sister in london for about a month and once i was back i felt a massive change within myself. i didn't quite understand what was wrong and almost thought i was slipping back into depression again. only this time, i was not? i felt like i was shedding something, felt totally weird. like i was going back to myself. i was not sad but there was a quiet purge. i instinctively decided to go off radar. i consumed content on my own time, completely cut off people and habits from my life that i knew in my gut were toxic but never attended to it. my sleep cycle changed for those two months, i listened to my body and inner voice and fully indulged. i took the time to eat, read, watch, hone my craft. jona & i also drove down to coorg for our 7 year anniversary. we had the best time and damnnn, that view tho. ##### 2 months felt like 2 whole seasons of crazy as i participated as a mere spectator. ##### communal wars, boy bands, meme pages turning into rebellion, 90s skinny pop resurgence, michael jackson mania, cigarettes and diet coke, 00's *cringe* fashion making a comeback. we travelled back exactly 20 years in time.  ##### well, i guess things will always be crazy. through it all, i'll always remain authentic. more so now.  ##### i'll probably be back in august. that's when i move again. that's all the tea. sorry if its mild, i'm literally just chillin. # Wild Jam 2026 ##### my first major show is debuting in my home city!! aaaaaaaaa i crie (; ##### things move when you trust your instinct. in no way did this this gig just randomly spring into my lap as an act of god/universe/accident. i saw the event promo and felt in my gut that i must ask for a small spot or i'd regret it. there's no harm in asking afterall? i lead with that and i texted queen pratika (wild wild women) for an opportunity and she was kind enough to offer me a slot to showcase. so now i'm casually opening the show on women's day at an important venue in the city - antisocial, mumbai. ##### ikr how iconic. # Survive ##### i'm releasing s*urvive* on Jan 14, 2026. *survive* is a personal story of my lived experiences growing up as a girl journeying into womanhood in my home, city, country and the world at large. this was the first song from ptxd. that i had ever performed live. i'm excited to share this journey with you. i hope more women can relate, be heard and feel seen.  "I trust myself and my power." # PTXD. PTXD:  PTSD - flipped the S with an X. Because the ‘X’ is everything they  tell us not to be. The ‘X’ is messy, unhinged, sexual, chaotic - the perfect premise for the album. PTXD. is healing open wounds with rhinestones and turning pain into power.   “What would you imagine to be the character arc of an ex-evangelical who has barely survived a patriarchal home, rigid convent schooling and 10 years of corporate slavery? It’s giving Britney makes a comeback after years of conservatorship. Over the years, I’ve collected my trauma like infinity stones to now wear them as a badge of honor.” © 2026
