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 like variety: the more, the better. I think my international background has prepared me to write about practically anything, and I try to do just that. I especially enjoy writing about books and authors, and expatriate living. Among authors I have profiled are Vikram Seth, Minette Walters, John Irving and Norman Mailer. I am a regular contributor to the South China Morning Post and the Daily Telegraph’s expatriate section, the Expat Telegraph. I write a regular travel column “Little Known London” for Time-Travel Britain. I am also a correspondent for WomensEnews, a U.S-based news service.
