Namaste Readers!
I’m Rishabh Khaneja, a writer, creative facilitator, photographer, motorcyclist, and advocate of a slow, meaningful, creative life. I love coffee, and I've been plant-based for the past five years. (Please don’t ask where I get my protein!)
As you can gather from my short description above, I am a jack of all trades and master of none. I have embraced this about myself for many years and loved every bit of it.
I am naturally curious, and this curiosity has driven me to various places. From volunteering at a farm for 2 months to motorcycling solo across Spiti, Zanskar, and Ladakh for 3 months, I have thoroughly enjoyed living in my early 20’s.
Now, in the later part of my 20’s, I wouldn't change a thing about myself. However, I have also come to realize that I DEEPLY LOVE WRITING.
Having experimented so much, I've gained a fair understanding of what I like and the type of life I want to build for myself.
Over the years, I have written thousands of captions on my Instagram page, a few short stories, children's books, and also a book!
The purpose of joining Substack is to build a community of readers who are kind enough to read about my experiments with writing and creativity. If you’re reading this, I thank you deeply from the bottom of my heart.
A writer is nothing without a reader.
Please pat yourself on your back, you give writers a reason to do their work :)
I also wish to learn from other writers on Substack, delve into the global writing and reading community, and hopefully share my work with people across the globe.
On my Substack, you can expect a mix of personal essays, experimental fiction, and insights into my creative process. I plan to share both my successes and challenges in pursuing a creative life, hoping it resonates or even helps you in your journey. Expect posts ranging from in-depth articles to light-hearted stories, published at least once weekly.
Why my publication is named Creative Writing Laboratory is something I answer in the online writing spaces I conduct. Join me there to unravel the story behind it and explore the experiments that spark our collective creativity.
