"Those who gaze outward dream, but those who turn inward awaken." A pro-writer for MLB EssentiallySports, I’ve been a fan of the New York Yankees since my school days. In my adolescent years, I was introduced to the iconic franchise through one of my beloved Friends characters, Joey. My passion blossomed into a reserve of knowledge within the realms of MLB. With the dynamic evolution of the game, I discovered my true vocation while stumbling upon EssentiallySport. My interests, however, go far beyond crafting sports content. My artistic essence is reflected in my love of poetry, singing, songwriting, and painting. Looking towards the future, I dream of transcending traditional boundaries by becoming an entrepreneurial artist. I envisage a career that combines my passion for sports, business, and art, leaving a legacy that will resonate with fans for generations to come.

"Our identity is forged through consistent actions. True excellence is not a singular act; rather, it is ingrained in our daily habits." Since I was a teen, I learned that the best way I could express myself was by writing. But when it was time to decide, I flocked with engineers. After half a decade of working on everything except my genuine interest, today, I pride myself in covering stories of America's favorite pastime, baseball! I am Kanishka, a pro-writer for MLB at EssentiallySports. If I could describe my journey as a writer, I'd say it's been 'enriching'. Nothing can beat the inspirational bits of life about legendary Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez. Shohei Ohtani, and Bryce Harper. I have found a fondness for cross-sports and entertainment articles. When not tapping on my keyboard, I plug my earphones in and indulge in podcasts or audiobooks.

“Everything happens for a reason." Surprisingly, it has held true for my career in sports. I've cherished sports since my teenage years, and my passion has guided me through the journey of sports journalism, a venture that began years ago. Before joining EssentiallySports I had written around 800 articles spanning MLB, NFL, and NHL. Now, my daily rhythm revolves around the insights from MLB, as I play the roles of a fan, a writer, and a reader. In the more than 700 articles at ES, I have covered the on-field antics of generational talents like Shohei Ohtani and Elly De La Cruz, along with the off-field actions of ex baseballers like Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter. Let me welcome you all to join me as ardent fans of the beautiful sport of baseball! However, on my days off, my affection for poetry takes center stage. As a writer, there are striking parallels between the two worlds, and my passion for both continues to flourish.

My tryst with MLB was accidental, but what followed was nothing short of a pursuit of excellence. Having penned over 1,000 articles, I've written about the key figures ES regularly features, including Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, and Mike Trout, but Shohei Ohtani is a personal favorite. From New York to Los Angeles, I've covered articles spanning all 50 states that have been recognized as Editor's Picks on multiple occasions. With an exceptional attention to detail and insightful coverage, I'm now an MLB editor. Other than baseball, I also occasionally pick up a bow and arrow and engage in friendly archery games. When not writing about baseball or hitting the bull's eye with my arrows, I love to indulge in my love for literature.?The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid,? by Jane Austen is a personal favorite quote of mine. I also enjoy reading about morally gray characters and talking about them on my bookstagram.

“Rigidity leads to demise, while adaptability paves the path to vitality." Driven by a deep passion for sports, I’m glad I found baseball. Now serving as an MLB writer at EssentiallySports, I love to write about the thrilling tussle between the National League and American League throughout the season, although I may have a fondness for a particular Yankees icon named Alex Rodriguez. I eagerly awaited Shohei Ohtani’s debut in MLB, even if the iconic moment happened with the Los Angeles Angels. Apart from the diamond, I also find sports agents fascinating and am keen on understanding how they work in the MLB. Beyond my dedication to the sport, I also have a fondness for watching soccer matches, indulging in movie marathons, and immersing myself in various artistic pursuits.
