Sahitya Poonacha

'Literature' is my name and I am living up to it. I am a writer and journalist always in search of the next story I can tell. Whether it be for mainstream media, companies, or through poetry, my work strives to make a difference where it really matters. My biggest learning yet? There is no story too small to tell as long as we tell it with integrity and passion. 

That said, here is a map of my work. If you like what you read, let's collaborate!

The Lost Library

It is time to set down the heavy weight I have carried for quite some time. I have been looking for something new to read. For a while now, I have been reading the same stories, they follow the same format, the same script. The thirst for something fresh, something that sparks meaning is high.I have often consoled myself by saying lovers of history know that it is a game of playing lost and found. There is a time and place for certain stories. Recollection is an endless loop that carries on with...

Ready or Not Here Comes Another Year

It is that time of the year again. When everyone feels the need to share their hot takes on the last year, a rewind of sorts. You have probably seen all the posts, all of the noise out there in the abyss. It could be that these words of mine only add to the cacophony. After losing myself in the barrage of posts, I needed a breather. As usual, I took to the page to quieten all the frantic opinions racing through my mind. Could I be the only one asking myself if it is such a great thing that a dat...

Built to Last

The last wonder of the world was built in 1931. The last volume of the longest novel in the world was published in 1927. Very few things in the world today are left as untouched as they came. I think about this from time to time and I apply it to myself too. I keep changing, I shape-shift from age to age, phase to phase. The pages of history continue to turn.It is not that I crave a return to the past, there is a reason we have come so far. As I work on my dreams and myself, tinkering away bit b...

Plastic Action in Rural India with the Alliance to End Plastic Waste

What will it take to solve the global plastic waste crisis? In a world where 3 billion people still lack access to waste disposal systems, waste is often dumped or burned. One way to start tackling this is by enabling communities to manage their plastic waste better. Doing so requires collaborative action and strategic partnerships as powerful catalysts for change. Building strong partnerships underlines all that we do at rePurpose Global. We constantly seek out organizations, innovators, brand...

No Left No Right, Just in between

Cambodia is a historian’s playground. With its dynamic history of conflict and religiosity that goes back to the ancient, makes for an interesting tourist’s experience. It’s not your average tourist destination with flashy malls, well-marked roads, and great connectivity. But more than being home to the famous ‘Angkor Wat‘, home to a population that has seen some of the worst times in history. When we talk of genocide how rarely do we talk about the Khmer Rouge? But the people of Cambodia an ex-

Where It All Began

Delhi is more than just the capital of India. In our case more than just a city with the country’s best options for a good education in Humanities. For us it was home for three years, it was the hottest and the coldest city that frustrated us to the point that our love for Guwahati and Bangalore respectively grew in paramount proportions. But weather and academic pressure aside, that’s where our journey began. We stumbled the first few days (months), took our time not only to adjust to the idea
