Bhumi Bansal


Bhumi Bansal


I’m a bubbly soul with a deep love for all things
creative storytelling, design, and experiences that
stir emotion. With sharp observational skills and a
curious heart, I find beauty in the small details and
inspiration in everyday life. I’m passionate about
turning the world into a more inspiring place where
people come together through art, culture, and
meaningful ideas. A true music buff at heart, I’m
equally moved by the raw energy of rock music
and the nostalgic vibes of 90s classics. Whether
I’m exploring new cities, discovering local cuisine,
or just vibing to a great playlist. I’m always seeking
creative sparks and soulful connections.

I’m Himanshi Arora, a creative person but with a
curious mind. I’ve always been drawn to creativity
which is why after school I’ve done graduation in
Journalism and Mass Communication and now I’m
pursuing Advertising and Public Relation. I had
always loved exploring not just places but also
people which is why I like learning different
languages and different cultures. I believe that
everyone and everything holds a story which
gives me new ideas and experiences.

I am Kriti (no last name) (they/them) and my main
contribution to this blog was simply making the
words of my classmates accessible to all by setting

this website up.


Other than having my mind wander off during our
classes, you can also find me doodling odd blobs.
Beyond that, I am always up for a discussion on films
and enjoy engaging with those who think differently

from me.

Half strategist, half storyteller-100% filmy when it comes
to content. I turn trending ideas into brand moments and
live for DMs that say, “Bro, this post hits.”

I am a social media geek by profession, who enjoys crafting
content that connects. That being said, I love observing –
people, moments and everything else.
Storytelling is my passion, I love writing – whether it’s a
caption, an ad film or a short story, I love bringing ideas
to life. I love losing myself in a book, watching movies or
listening to music – never restricted by genre, always
looking for things that connect with who I am.

A writer at heart and creative by practice, I’ve always
been drawn to stories, to the words we choose and
the meaning they carry. With my academic background
in English literature, I’ve spent years immersed in texts

that challenge, comfort and provoke thought. Writing
has become my way of continuing that engagement
and reflecting on ideas that shape how we live. When
I’m not writing, I’m reading or watching films, especially
horror or psychological thrillers. A few of my favourite

writers include Virginia Woolf, Jane Austen, Shakespeare,
John Steinbeck and Mahasweta Devi, voices I return to
often for their honesty, complexity and insight.

Curious, driven, and always creating, I find joy in building
things—whether it’s a bold brand identity or a meal in my
kitchen. I love exploring how brands come to life and the
thought that goes into every detail, from design to voice.
Crafting identities that feel real and expressive is where I
thrive. Creativity anchors me, both in my work and in how
I move through the world. I’m also an Asian-level powerlifter,
which keeps me grounded, focused, and strong—in more
ways than one. For me, it’s all about balance: between grit
and grace, vision and execution.
