About Me

Have you ever found yourself struggling when writing about yourself because you don’t know where to start, or can’t figure out what’s more important – your opinion on racism or whether you like ketchup over mustard? Well, that’s precisely what I went through when I started writing this piece, but I think I got there eventually.

Hey, welcome to my blog! I’m Unat Pannu, and this is a platform I hope will be a safe space for me to share my thoughts, beliefs and art with you.

 I’m a very big enthusiast of art (in all its forms). I enjoy theatre, writing, reading, sketching, painting, baking and trying out new things to add to this list. One of the reasons I like art so much is because of its power to inspire a change, which I believe to be one of the things that make it so inseparable from life on Earth. Art provides an unbounded space for us to channel our feelings and create a piece of work that is expressive of our journey. 

I don’t know where I’ll be decades from now, but one thing that I want to always have in life is satisfaction. The version of myself that I am currently moving towards is a more grateful, appreciative and considerate one. I want to live life to the fullest and not be bound by societal restrictions keeping me from solving the purpose of my life.

Irrespective of the amount that I earn, I want to be doing something that makes me happy, proves a reason for me to be breathing every second on this wondrous planet, and brings a positive change to the lives of the people around me. To achieve satisfaction in terms of career, I want to pursue my passion for art, without which I cannot imagine my life. 

Although I’ve never really been able to confidently call myself an artist or taken even the smallest step towards becoming an actress, I dream of making drama my source of living one day. I don’t know if acting is what I’m destined to do or not, but the impact of this industry has such a profound impact on my life that I just haven’t been able to give this dream up, despite trying to do so multiple times. Every time I watch a good movie, I want to be a part of it more than ever. Looking at the passion of people for this industry, their love for this form of art, I simply cannot tell myself that putting my heart and soul into getting there one day won’t be worth it.

Another thing that I am certain about is that I want to contribute my bit into helping others and making the world a better place to live in for its dwellers. I have seen the lack of awareness and open-mindedness in my surroundings, and want to play a part in reducing it by becoming an activist, and fighting for equality and justice. I pray that I follow the path of good and do not get deviated from it due to greed for money, power or fame. 

“It isn’t enough to simply talk about equality, one must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to simply believe in it, one must work at it. Let us work at it. Together. Starting now.”

-Meghan Markle

Apart from dreams concerning my future, some other things that form a part of my character are reading good books and watching movies, shows and other content creators. I find it quite challenging to compare stuff and choose favourites. Therefore, I cannot tell you which movie or actor is my favourite, for I don’t have them.

Apart from my family, friends and teachers, two people who have played very important parts in my life are Ms. Emma Watson and Mr. Eddie Redmayne, the former inspiring me to dream of becoming an activist, and the latter making me realise the power of acting and inspiring me not to give up on my dream of becoming an actor without even trying. There are a lot of other people who have played very big roles in my life, have inspired me to dream and made me fall in love with art, but this introduction would never come to an end if I started listing them. 

This blog is going to be a place for me to express myself through art, in the form of articles, sketches, paintings, poems, and other pieces. I wish to deliver creative pieces that are an insight into my character and voice my true opinions. I sincerely hope that you enjoy my blog and it gives you something to ponder upon.

If you can, please let me know about your thoughts on this blog. I would really appreciate some constructive feedback to help me improve and suggestions for further posts. 

Thank you for reading all the way to the end. I hope that you found my writing to be worth the read. Keep smiling!
