About

Hello! My name is Nimit and I'm a designer. I’m curious about a lot of things we’re surrounded with - from pop culture and poetry, to movies and math, and everything in between. I believe that these things don’t exist in isolation and it’s exploring these intersections that excite me. So this site is like a peek into my diary of random explorations.

To that effect, there are two main sections for the site - Nerdventures and Desi Poetry.

Nerdventures

This section of the site deals with me taking one idea and fully delving into it. I use design and technology to explore these ideas to make them as engaging as I can. Sometimes I'll chase simple questions (what music makes people happy?) and delve as deep as I can, or sometimes I'll pick up fun projects (can I design a map?), or sometimes it's just me wanting to share hobbies I have, so more people can get into them!

Desi Poetry

I've grown up listening to some of the most beautiful languages in the world, and this section is my attempt to bring them to you. I don't think I can fully encapsulate the beauty the language holds but I can give you a glimpse and make you curious enough. The goal is to translate desi songs (to start with) into English poetry and give you small glimpses into the language itself and the culture of it all.

New Site!

If you've been following my website, you'll see a few upgrades - we have a new homepage, a new commenting system, and you can now subscribe and stay up to date with new content sent straight to your inbox! You can choose to follow both sections or just one depending on your interests.

Substack

If you were subscribed to my Desi Poetry Substack and you've landed here - welcome! I've moved from Substack for various reasons, but the goal and the experience remains largely the same, so I hope you enjoy your stay here.

What happens next

I will be transitioning my old articles one by one to the new site, so feel free to hop on for the journey. Feedback is always welcome :)
