Hi! I am Nandini Iyengar.
(No, I am not affiliated to the infamour Iyengar Bakery chains :P)
A polyglot by default
A translator and writer by choice
I began my journey as a professional writer and translator in 2019. It has been quite a learning experience since, replete with its ebbs and flows. I have enjoyed every minute of it and I look forward to new experiences that will come my way!
I started writing because I was looking avenues to express myself. My determination to become an entertainment writer was cemented after I saw a movie and wanted to express what I felt about it. I find time sometimes to write realistic fiction short stories and poems, often borrowing from my personal experiences.
Working as a translator was a dream I had harboured since I was a teen. From writing foreign language words in my journal to speaking those languages like a native, I am slowly but steadily getting closer to my dream!
When I am not working, you will find me bingeing or finding new cultural spots to visit. I am somewhat of a cooking enthusiast, too. If not for a writer, I would have become a chef for sure!
