A third year Economics major student, she's always found struggling to untangle her white broken earphones. Being around her is basically laughing at lame jokes and obsessing over TSwift, pandas and fries. Always up for a ranting session anytime of the day (though she might get zoned out mid conversation, hehe).

A second year management student residing in Pune, he could call himself a 'wanderer' having lived in places right from the coasts of Chennai to the tree-crowned hills of Shimla. Loves anything and everything about the crime genre, an avid sports follower and blogger, a wildlife enthusiast and a writer learning what each day has to offer. A reader, sometimes lethargic, sometimes voracious.

A third year Operations Management major, Priyam is super keen on all things tech, football & hip-hop. A patreon of the local music and comedy scene, he is usually busy with sorting out venues, setting up stages around the city & working on his podcast whilst keeping himself updated on pop-culture, politics and the internet. At Pehchaan, he’s been editing reels and designing articles (and writing some mediocre ones) for over 2 years now.

Although born in West Bengal’s Calcutta, Ahmedabad has been Hrid’s home for a decade now. Hrid is majoring in Economics. If he is not studying or doing something super nerdy, you will find him at the corner of the SAS reading room – reading newspapers or edgy books (totally nothing alt). It won’t take one long to understand Hrid’s love for the piano, guitar and video games. Oh, and he has also got a thing for learning new languages, an aspiring polyglot!

Simran Dumra is a second-year BBA(Hons) student who can often be found on her phone reading, doing something on Canva or doom-scrolling on X. She is an avid reader who is always ready to argue about how Twilight is an insult to the romance genre and loves spending her Sundays binge watching movies. She spends the rest of her time spoiling her dog or taking naps with him.

I am a fourth year BA Economics student at Ahmedabad University. I am immensely passionate about reading and writing, which is why Pehechaan is the perfect avenue to express myself and my myriad opinions about the issues that surround us all. 

Rithu Vijayabaskar is a 1st year student pursuing an Integrated Master of Science in Life Sciences. Following her fascination with the complex interactions in the environment, she grew enamoured with Biology. Her outgoing personality makes her easygoing and energetic to do anything. She's a Star Wars fanatic and will not rest until you know about the history of some obscure information from the Fandom. She also loves listening to Pink Floyd and recommends listening to them! You can find her exploring the campus to find a spot for a picnic or just having a great time at the cafeteria.

A first-year IMS in Life Sciences student, Het, is an ardent believer in the unquenchable thirst for knowledge. She immerses herself in the world of books with a passion matched only by her love for a steaming bowl of ramen and the art of writing. Het, in many ways, embodies the enigmatic spirit of a black cat. If she ever encountered a genie, all three of her wishes would whisk her back to the hauntingly mesmerizing era of Edgar Allan Poe.

A first year BA Social and Political Science student, she is an aspiring international affairs student and budding creature of the night.

With a keen interest in theater and literature, analyzing, scrutinizing and applauding unique elements inculcated in the cinema and in books is her primary purpose of existence. 

A first year BA student majoring in psychology. Although she aspires to be a clinical psychologist, she is also seriously considering opening a cafe so that she can eat there all day (hehe).

You would probably find her somewhere hiding around the campus, listening to some true crime podcast, while struggling to stay awake. She also LOVES animals and has to pet every animal she comes across.

Diya Kasera is a second year BS(Hons.) student majoring in Computer Science. She has an extremely unhealthy habit of procrastinating . So just like all the other tasks on her to-do list , this was left till the last minute . Thus at 2am all she could think of was that she loves reading, writing, socialising and at that moment, most importantly , sleeping . But she is all over the campus at all times. And she loves talking to people so you can expect an awkward smile with an excited wave whenever you cross paths with her ! 

Karan Nair is a first year student at Ahmedabad University pursuing BA Economics. He hails from Bangalore, although the blood of the coasts of Kerala flows through him as well. He engrosses himself in anime and finds inner peace when on the basketball court. His philosophy is that any problem can be solved through a smile.

Vyomini will consume literally any content that falls in her lap. The kind of person who reads the back of shampoo bottles for fun. Every conversation with her can be a debate if you try hard enough (or not at all). One of her biggest aspirations is to embody evermore (the album). Friendly, circumstantial betting is welcomed and very inevitable. If nothing works, chocolate is always the answer. 

A lover of the moon, you will always find this introvert in the corner of the room rarely talking. Contrary to her love for Bollywood, she thrives in simplicity. Always throws K3G and FRIENDS references. Always appreciates love in the form of desserts, hugs, and coffee.

Lively, headstrong and confident, she likes to talk about anything and everything. A bad joke enthusiast with a big heart trying to radiate happiness with her jokes. Easy going, gives her best to everything but isn't fond of fretting and brooding as she believes que sera sera.

He can be found playing chess on his phone everywhere, especially in class. He is always up for challenges (only if he can actually manage them) and is very competitive. His philosophy of life is that he is not a quitter until he quits.

Needs caffeine to function. Weirdly obsessed with strange food combinations, sad songs and 18th century poems. Loves creating fictional characters in the middle of the day and is a bit of an amateur cook but pro at being a procrastinator. Tries to be upbeat in the mornings and enjoys a quiet evening often with a book.

A biology student during the day and a small art biz owner by night, she likes to keep up with Korean culture and trends. A firm believer of the creative process- Whether it be literature, design or rants. Likes to do a lot of stuff but is average at most of them, while also being unapologetic of her mediocrity!   

I love learning and making new experiences! I love reading books, especially dystopian fiction; my favorite is the MaddAddam trilogy. In my free time, I am either rewatching episodes of The Office or listening to San Holo.
