Nikhita Kalluri

About The Author


Nikhita Kalluri, born and raised in California, studied at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and is currently a graduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles. A passionate advocate for holistic healing, she is an environmental justice activist and a practitioner of Yoga and Ayurveda. When not immersed in her academics or writing, Nikhita enjoys hiking and camping, exploring the outdoors, creating art and music, or immersing herself in a pile of books. Her deepest hope is to spread love and light to those who need it most, using her voice and actions to uplift and inspire people into meaningful action.


Looking Through A Mirror

In Looking Through A Mirror, Nikhita takes her readers on a journey of exploration and understanding. She grapples with issues of universal humanism, suffering of existence, and what it means to be human in an ever-changing world. Through beautiful moments and emotions at their purest, her poems expose a raw sense of vulnerability—the key to finding something of true meaning and profound depth. They encapsulate the universal spectrum of emotion, and with it, the depth of the human experience we all share: beautiful yet messy, timeless yet ancient. In this space, she uses her voice as a source of light for those who remain in the dark. For those who feel a sense of stagnancy in their creative expression, who feel like their life has become devoid of intensity and purpose, who feel lost in their path, this book is a powerful wake-up call.

About the Blog

What is the blog about and why I started it

This blog will explore a broad range of topics aimed at invoking a sense of awe and wonder at the life that flows through each of us. My goal is to leave readers contemplating the possibilities of existence and marveling at the beauty life holds. With this, I hope to provide the roots for many conversations to come and unlock insights and into our collective understanding of the topics that will be covered—freedom, beauty, creativity, love, nature, perception, and the pursuit of knowledge. And now, I welcome you to this space, where we can all exist together for an eternal moment, drawing from the wisdom of a wanderer.
