Castle Light | Kaushal Naik

I reside in Dublin, Ireland, where I read Economics and Management with a keen eye toward the interwoven patterns of thought, enterprise, and society. Beyond the rigours of academic study, I devote myself to the written word, chronicling the human condition in all its splendour and fragility. I strive to carve emotion from the very essence of being human — whether through self-experienced anecdotes that bear the weight of lived truth, or through pure fiction that ventures into realms unbounded by reality.

I possess a profound love of research, and a particular fascination with the biographies and inner worlds of distinguished figures in literature, music, and history. I fancy serious Western classical music and opera, and find great joy in playing both the piano and the violin. This ardour for narrative and art began early: at the age of fourteen, I composed my first poem, a piece that was selected for publication, thus heralding the inception of my literary path.

In prose and verse alike, I aspire to distil the subtleties of memory, identity, and place into works that resonate beyond the page, carrying the enduring music of thought and feeling. My writing has been recognised in numerous literary competitions and has found a home — or awaits its debut — in respected journals across varied landscapes.
