๐Ÿ‘€ ABOUT PUKI

The full origin story. The stats. The timeline. The chaos. All of it.

THE ORIGIN STORY ๐ŸŒŸ

Every hero has one. Puki's involves a Rajdhani Express and a bend near Nagpur.

#01 ๐Ÿ‘ถ

THE BEGINNING

Born with an extraordinarily sensitive vestibular system, Puki discovered her superpower โ€” or super-weakness โ€” on a family road trip at age five.

#02 ๐Ÿš‚

THE INCIDENT

The defining moment: an overnight train at age 16. A middle berth. A pantry car. A catastrophic bend near Nagpur at 2:47 AM. She survived. She learned.

#03 ๐Ÿซš

THE DISCOVERY

Years of trial, error, and ginger. Puki slowly built her arsenal of survival techniques โ€” and realised she wasn't alone. One in three people share her struggle.

#04 ๐ŸŒ

THE MISSION

This website. A place for everyone who's gripped a door handle desperately, stared at a horizon, or made friends with a paper bag. You belong here.

PUKI'S TIMELINE ๐Ÿ“…

A life lived bravely, if somewhat nauseatingly.

Age 5

๐Ÿš— First Incident

Family road trip to Lonavala. Back seat. Winding road. The first of many encounters with the limits of her vestibular system.

Age 9

Ferry Disaster

School trip. 45-minute ferry crossing each way. Puki spent both crossings on deck, horizontal, staring at the horizon with the intensity of someone defusing a bomb.

Age 16

๐Ÿš‚ The Train Incident

The defining moment. Overnight Rajdhani Express. Middle berth. The bend near Nagpur. Ramesh the attendant and his paper bags. Puki emerges changed.

Age 18

๐Ÿซš The Ginger Discovery

A pharmacist suggests ginger chews before a flight. It works. Puki stands in arrivals, slightly stunned, and rethinks everything she knew about journeys.

Age 20

๐Ÿฅฝ The VR Incident

45 seconds in VR. Kabir's birthday party. The record stands to this day. Puki has made peace with it.

Age 21

๐Ÿ’’ The Wedding Incident

Cousin Meera's wedding. Fog machine. Twelve floral arrangements. Puki evacuates to the garden. Meera brings ginger ale. Friendship cemented over crackers.

2025

๐ŸŒ Pukemon.in Launches

The website goes live. A community finds each other. Thousands realise they are not alone. Puki is moved. (Not physically. She is sitting very still.)

FAQ ๐Ÿ™‹

The questions Puki gets asked most often, answered honestly.

Is Puki a real person? โ–ผ
Puki is an anime character โ€” a fictional mascot created to represent and celebrate everyone who experiences motion sickness. But everything she goes through is inspired by real experiences. If you recognise yourself in her stories, that's the point. She is all of us.
Is the information on this site medically accurate? โ–ผ
We research carefully and everything in the blog and survival guide is grounded in real science. However, this website is not a substitute for medical advice. If your motion sickness is severe or worsening, please speak with a doctor. We are a fun community site, not a clinic โ€” even though Puki is very experienced.
Can I submit my own motion sickness story? โ–ผ
Absolutely yes โ€” go to the Join the Club page and scroll to Share Your Story. Stories can be published with your name or anonymously. We'd love to hear yours.
I want to collaborate or work with Pukemon. How? โ–ผ
We're open to collaborations with brands and creators that genuinely align with our community โ€” travel, wellness, and motion sickness products. Get in touch via the contact section below.
When is the merch launching? โ–ผ
Soon! Join the waitlist on the homepage or Join the Club to be the first to know. Members get early access before general sale.
Why is the domain pukemon.in instead of .com? โ–ผ
Because Puki is proudly Indian! .in felt right for a community that started here. Motion sickness is universal but Puki calls India home. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ
