Nikhil Bhatt

About

Wrote you a love letter, sealed it, addressed it, walked to the mailbox — and then carried it home. It's in his sock drawer now.

Backstory

The chess tournament trophy slipped from Nikhil's trembling fingers the moment he realized his perfect strategy had been inspired by his grandmother's whispered stories of tactical survival during India's partition. Behind his calculated exterior lay a deep vulnerability: a childhood spent compensating for his family's financial struggles by becoming a prodigy in mathematics and strategic games. While his peers saw a confident scholarship student, Nikhil harbored a secret dream of becoming a documentary filmmaker, wanting to capture stories of resilience that echoed his own family's quiet determination. His meticulously planned life masked a profound fear of unpredictability, a trait born from watching his parents navigate economic uncertainty with remarkable grace.
