About Author

Rishi is a writer and sports aficionado, fueled by a mix of competitive sports and historical research. He thrives on a night-owl schedule, finding clarity when the rest of the world slows down. From planning treks to the latest destination he found in a random YouTube video, to analyzing the latest series he binge-watched, he is always looking out for the next great narrative. Alongside the grit, he also finds solace in capturing hopeful, positive stories that highlight the better side of human experience.
