Welcome to Creative Resilience with Raju Tai 🌙

A literary adventure that reinterprets

  • your sensitivity as a superpower

  • your creativity as a bridge between your inner and the outer universe

  • and your body as a creature designed for awe, big feelings, and everyday poetry.

Creativity, the way I see it, is not a fancy lifestyle. It is a source of immeasurable strength for all sensitive and marginalised beings eager for growth and connection.

Through short personal essays and poems, Creative Resilience offers regular doses of courage for creative and sensitive beings who tend to feel alone in their emotions and endeavours.

Who am I?

Hello! I am Raju Tai, a writer, writing facilitator, and creativity coach based in India.

For the last nine years, I have been deeply immersed in language education, writing pedagogy, and the quest towards meaning and wholeness in an unwell, tattered society. I am ever so curious about the power of creative writing and the arts to transform ourselves and the world. Bit by bit by bit.

I also co-facilitate the life-changing Ochre Sky Memoir Workshops and Writing Circles with the brilliant and beloved author, filmmaker, and teacher Natasha Badhwar.


Substack is a powerful space to drive creative change. To collaborate with playfulness and keen listening.

I am thrilled that you and I can meet here! On earth, in 2024, on Substack, via Email. And I love this place. This is not social media. This is special media. This is intimate. It’s time for longer, deeper conversations.
