Harsh Thakkar holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication from UPG, Mumbai, and a Master’s degree in English Literature from PDPU, Gandhinagar. He currently takes classes for TOEFL and GRE.
Having a knack for words, he runs a blog Harsh’s Writings which he regularly updates with, as he calls it, an “unfiltered version of my thoughts.” He has also edited The Tales We Tell: An Anthology of Short Stories. As a cultural writer, he actively decodes a variety of pop culture references including song analysis, scene analysis, and dialogue analysis on his Instagram page @blahblahblaharsh. He has also been published in a leading Indian media platform, Film Companion.
Thakkar believes in the value of simplicity and likes to present his thoughts in an accessible, relatable manner about very common everyday topics and ordinary things. He likes to believe that going beyond normal vision can help one see the unseen. Not only is his thoughtfulness reflected in his writing but also in his passion for photography, through his camera lenses. You can find his pieces of photographic reflections on Instagram @thelightsight.
Harsh is like a fresh breath of air and his company always sparks positive, practical, and fun conversations. He boasts of having multiple passions, and he is genuinely invested in each, be it decoding songs, writing, food, or just being open to new and unknown adventures. Yes, he is that friend who'll join you on trips where you have no clue where you guys are headed. Though his humour does get dark at times, but that's just life.
