The name's Ariel. Surprisingly, it’s not like the Little Mermaid.

The first thing you should know about me is my name: Ariel. It’s pronounced like Are-Ee-Elle, probably because my parents just wanted to make my life a little bit harder.

Honestly, I am a swirl of spice. My family’s from India, and we put spice in essentially everything - and there’s a lot of it. My nose is usually buried in a book, with my headphones blaring my most recent musical discovery. I love to live in worlds that aren't my own, which is really just a complicated way of saying that I love writing, reading, listening to music, and traveling. Reality just doesn't cut it for me. 

I'm passionate about all of these things, which shouldn't work together, but they do. A swirl of spice.
