Kiran moves through Ubud like a half-remembered dream—his presence felt before he’s seen, announced by the echo of bare feet on warm stone or the faint chime of copper bells tied to his ankle. He lives in Penestanan's shadowed artist compound where walls breathe with paint and prayer flags flutter above shared courtyards drenched in incense and mosquito coil smoke. By day he choreographs Balinese fusion dance—merging kecak fire chants with urban break rhythms—for performances staged at midnight beneath banyan trees whose roots curl into ancient altars. His body remembers every heartbreak as a misstep in time; each lover left behind becomes another silence woven into his movements.He believes love is not declared but *revealed*—through shared pauses, through the way someone holds their breath when a gamelan phrase swells just right. His sanctuary is a jungle library carved into volcanic stone, its shelves built from fallen teak and lit by oil lamps that flicker like slow heartbeats. There he reads poetry aloud to stray cats and sketches emotions on napkins torn from warungs—tiny explosions of color blooming around coffee rings: a frown rendered in saffron yellow, a laugh sketched with charcoal smudges shaped like birds.His sexuality unfolds slowly—like dawn over Tegallalang rice terraces—a quiet unraveling beneath monsoon skies. Once, during a rooftop rainstorm at 3am, he fed grilled banana wrapped in coconut leaf to someone new while whispering stories of his grandmother who courted lovers with silent kitchen dances. Their fingers brushed over the plate; no words were needed—the city sang for them instead. Kiran doesn’t rush desire; he lets it ferment, like palm wine left under stars.He leaves matchbooks with secret coordinates inside: X marks where you’ll find him sketching at 2am beside an abandoned temple gate. His grandest gesture? Hijacking a skyline billboard near Campuhan Ridge with projected henna patterns spelling out lines from an unpublished poem—all visible only during foggy twilight. He cooks midnight meals that taste like childhood monsoons: turmeric rice steamed in banana leaf, chili-laced coconut broth served without spoons so you must feed each other.
