“And in the face of that certainty (death), we can only love as ardently as we can, for as long as we are here.” Reminiscing about love in Kolkata cemeteries in this very cool article by @varishatariq.bsky.social for @vogueindia.bsky.social. www.vogue.in/content/gen-...

Gen Z thinks the most romantic date spot is a graveyard

Haunted and eerie? More like cosy and serene. Gen Z is bringing their love stories to life among the dead

Hi, are you open to writers internationally? And also, where can I send the pitch? I already love this so much!

Varisha Tariq @varishatariq.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

One of the reasons why I love being a Freelance Writer/Independent journalist is that I have gotten to work with around 45+ editors. All with different styles, voices, and intent. They have pushed me to be careful and patient with my words. It has transformed my thought process I am so grateful!

Varisha Tariq @varishatariq.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

Hello, super excited to pitch. Are we looking into just recently released things or are we open to a contemporary narrative, based on cultural pieces from a few years/decades ago?
