Some stories are written on paper. Others, in the heart of a place. Hardeep Bali writes both. An engineer who followed the pulse of words into journalism, she now weaves tales where emotion meets intellect, and culture meets reflection. Rooted in the misty valleys of Kashmir, her work breathes in the rhythm of its crafts, its silences, and its unspoken resilience. From newsrooms to notebooks, from research to poetry, Hardeep seeks the delicate threads that bind identity and expression. A journalist, researcher, and dreamer in equal measure, she believes stories don’t just inform — they heal, they remember, they become home.
