Pranjal Nath
A creative professional with forays into all kinds of artistic pursuits, Pranjal is as meticulous in his research as expressive he can be when storytelling, or writing journalistically. Aspects of his creative writing stem from a range of experiences and influences—be it the excellent authorship of Carl Sagan in Cosmic Connection, or in Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time. Arbitrary influences such as the likes of songwriters, poets, novelists, and scriptwriters form the basis of his penmanship. On the other hand, a career in the consumers’ eye has lent clarity, conciseness, and accuracy in what he writes.
Writing for clients as varied as Thick Accent and Scootaround.com stood him in good stead, as both sit on opposite ends of the entertainment-infotainment spectrum. Pranjal also took plenty of entrepreneurial initiatives by bringing his multifaceted creative skills into the market by offering holistic digital marketing solutions for small businesses. However, with him joining Starlust.org’s brilliant team of writers, he can realise his aim of purely writing to enlighten. What drives him is the prospect of awakening the curiosity of a fellow stargazer through his works, the same way his own interests were piqued many moons ago.
