I have been a freelance journalist for over 14 years, writing news, features and commentary for a range of international newspapers, magazines and websites. I am originally from Bangalore, India, but have been an expatriate most of my life. As a child, I lived in the U.K, Iran (escaping just before Khomeini took over) and Bahrain. I returned to Bangalore and graduated with a double degree in arts and law from the National Law School, India’s top law school. I gave up the law when I got tired of lawyer jokes. Instead, I became a legal correspondent for The Economic Times (India’s best-selling financial daily with a circulation of over 400,000) in Mumbai, hoping to make them up instead. After two years spent explaining the difference between injunctions and injuries to readers who couldn’t care less, I got itchy feet. I left India in 1996, hoping to travel the world and write about it. Since then I have reported on the handover in Hong Kong, the economic crisis in Bangkok, the restoration of the Sphinx in Cairo, the Aum Shirikyu cult in Tokyo and forced marriages in the U.K, among many other subjects. Clients for my editing services have included Sweet and Maxwell, Swiss Bank and Asiaweek. I returned to India in 2006, hoping to write about the rapid changes in the country: social, economic and cultural. I think my international background has prepared me to write about practically anything, and I do just that. I especially enjoy writing about human rights, development, social mores, culture and the arts.
