Karizma is a second-year English major at Miranda House, University of Delhi, who is oddly proud of her name. Melancholic with a tinge of humor, she goes through her life in ephemeral moments of euphemistic passivity. Naturally exhausted and perpetually overworked, she struggles to strike a balance between ambition and availability. She survives life with good music and trashy rom-coms.

Muqadas Kamran is in the first year of an ADA (Associate Degree in Arts) program from Pakistan. She's done a few things in her short life (not that she will talk about them) but all she's willing to reveal is that she was once published in Ripple Lit. Rather sinister of her. Do not ask her about her interests if you ever meet her, for she wouldn't have an honest answer or so she thinks. She will though say 5SOS' new album is quite nice, she means it. She's been doing poetry for 8 or so years. Nowadays she spends most of her days preparing for her finals, and playing with her toddler sister every opportunity she gets to.
