Hi, I’m Durgesh Nandhini from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.

I grew up in Tirupur, a textile-based town. Growing up, my aspirations often revolved around fame, and achievement. But life gradually showed me another path—one where I began asking what truly matters. Over time, I realised that relationships, love, and presence hold the deepest meaning. This shift didn’t happen overnight. It began when I chose feelings as my guiding light, learning to love myself. The by-product was profound: I began to love more people, more species, and more of life itself. I’m still on that path, and it continues to unfold every day.
