words over chai
brewing art
​
Hello hello! I'm Pia Oza – a writer, a poet and a lover of all things art – literature, music, poetry, even art history. You can find me sipping masala chai, extensively annotating a novel, obsessing over an old painting, screaming along to karaoke, or dramatically staring out of the Mumbai local train with my headphones on :).
Most of all, though, you can always find me writing - turning anything and everything into art.
With everything from poetry to prose and reviews to random musings, settle in with your cup of chai and absorb yourself into the little poetic world of my words!
