I was born in Allahabad, grew up on the outskirts of NYC, and have since spent time back in India and around the world. I write longform portrait essays about my experiences as a member and friend of many diasporas and cultures, both in the US and abroad.
My stories involve collisions with people who are fascinating, creepy, colorful, but mostly just human.
