Where the questions keep getting asked.
A public knowledge exchange.
Two ways to engage: open conversation across social platforms, and private consultations with Shobhna for focused thinking time.
Across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn
Posts, reels, reflections, archive highlights, book recommendations, observations from sixteen years of this work. Knowledge moving outward, freely, into the queer Indian community and beyond. Engagement in comments and DMs is welcome — within the boundaries of the practice.
One-to-one consultations with Shobhna
Focused, scheduled conversation time on what you bring — for institutions, researchers, journalists, writers, founders, documentarians, queer collectives, students, and individuals who want sustained thinking on a question that needs it.

Individual For writers, researchers, students, individual readers. 60 minutes by video. | ₹ 8,000 |

How sessions work.
Before
You book a slot. You receive a confirmation with a video link, an invoice, and a short note inviting you to share — if you'd like — what's on your mind. You don't have to. We can also start cold.
During
The session is 60 minutes. We talk. I listen, I think alongside you, I share what I know. The conversation is yours to direct, but I will ask the questions that seem useful. If something comes up that I cannot help with, I will say so and try to point you to who can.
After
What's discussed is confidential by default. I will not quote you publicly without consent. You're welcome to take notes, record (with my consent), and follow up by email if something opens up afterwards.
What this is not
This is not therapy, crisis support, legal advice, or medical advice. If you are looking for those, I can help you find appropriate referrals, but the consultation itself is not the place for them.
