I travel.
I write.
This website includes my writings from the time that I edited the travel section for Mint(partner newspaper of the Wall Street Journal in India) – and earlier(I havent written for a while now – so this website is a bit of a repository of older memories; although I would love to get back into writing soon).
I’ve lived in(and loved) Delhi, Mysore, Chennai, Pune, Calicut, Bangalore, New York City, and the SF Bay Area – and I currently live in Barcelona, Spain.
My writing has been published in Narrative.ly, Mint, India Today Travel Plus, Forbes Life India, Open Magazine and Outlook Lounge.

Well, just came through your site and nice to read that you’ve progressed into a writer inated of suffering the vagaries of IT.
Have a great Year ahead!
