Well...for me, writing is a process vital to keep me alive and kicking....dont know what i would do without my writing to keep me going...probably be climbing up walls or something!

On the serious side of things....i've worked as a copywriter at 'Goldwire Communications' - Chennai, India for two years - writing copy for print ads, audio visuals and content for websites.

I also worked as a freelance writer for the 'Indian Express' - Chennai, India - where I mainly wrote feature articles for their saturday supplement ("The Express Week") on a variety of subjects ranging from night shift workers, to the modelling scene in Chennai to Karoake Bars in the city.

I contributed articles to a film based website www.3to6.com on a range of Bollywood subjects - ranging from interviews with film designers to film reviews and other film based feature articles.

Till around three years ago, I was a consultant at Crest Communication, Mumbai, India and created concepts and scripts for television (fiction and non-fiction), animation (2D/3D), corporate films, ad films and anything else that came my way.

Amongst several freelance assignments, I wrote the Script and Screenplay for 22 half hour episodes of 'Kutumb' - a daily TV drama on Sony TV for Balaji Tele Films, Mumbai, India. I also worked on an International e-learning project at Tata Interactive Systems, Mumbai, India. Several of my humor columns and lifestyle features have appeared as cover stories in Gurlz Magazine - a bi-monthly lifestyle magazine brought out by the Darmilla Group.

A recent Graduate from Indiana University, Bloomington, specializing in Interactive Storytelling for Immersive Mediated Environments, I am currently on the lookout for a writing job in the United States that is challenging, interesting and stimulating at the same time. I am especially interested in storytelling for children and scripting thought provoking stories and documentaries that will have an impact on audiences.

Do get in touch with me if you think I am just the person you are looking for!

Other Interests

I am a total bookworm! I enjoy reading Paulo Coelho, Milan Kundera, Douglas Adams, Hanif Quereshi and Mahasweta Devi to name a few. Books like "Into the Wild", "Adventures in the Screen Trade", "The Alchemist", "Thornbirds","Veronica Decides to Die", "Lolita", "Train to Pakistan", "Mistress of Spices", "Nausea", and "Metamorphosis" remain forever embedded in my psyche.

I am also into music and enjoy singing and playing the guitar. Travelling and discovering new places is a huge passion of mine.

I am deeply interested in children and their relationship with media. In fact I did some research and compiled an extensive descriptive list of children's websites divided by age. Click here to see the list.
