Hello, I'm Mohana.

I'm a writer pursuing the singular beauty of a few tangled words.

I'm also an introvert, a misanthrope and a recluse. But that doesn't stop me from working well with people. I love words, effortless experiences and intricate stories. I'm honest, driven, and I aspire to greatness.

Aren't you glad you've found me? Now just say: hello@mdas.co.in
