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. You can tweet at me @m1shti!
