Hi, I’m Mahek Manchanda the curious heart behind Dramatically Stirring.
I’ve always been most at ease in my own company. I’m not exactly a people-person (small talk still makes me cringe), but there are two things I’ve always loved with my whole heart: animals and food.
Pixie and Pepper, my two cats, have become the quiet constants in my everyday life. Pixie is the soft, watchful one who pretends not to care but never lets me out of her sight, and Pepper is the mischievous little spark who somehow ends up in every sunny spot and every photo I don’t plan to take.
