How to read my numbers
The Instagram numbers
Views, viewers and content interactions come straight from my Instagram insights, shown above.
The rest
10K+ followers, 12 reels over 1M views and 30 reels between 100K and 800K. Happy to talk through any of them.
What views tell you
These numbers are cumulative across everything I’ve made, not one IP or one series. Views tell you people stopped. They’re data, not validation, so I use them as a clue about what to try next.
IFP Season 16: Spoken Word nominee
See the official nominee listIFP’s 50 Hour Performing Arts Challenge gives you a theme and a compulsory element, then 50 hours to write, perform and record an original piece, online, in Hindi or English.
I entered Spoken Word, where the brief is to tell a story without restrictions, free of poetic devices and rules. Season 16 ran from 11 to 13 September 2026, and I’m one of the 15 nominees in the category.
IFP says the challenge brings together over 3,000 performers from 13 countries.
Why trust me? I show my sources.
On my case studies, I label what happened, what’s my interpretation and what’s only an idea. When I built a website about a mosque, I did the same: what you can see, what I think it means, and the sources to check.
