About me – Feature writer, photographer, broadcast journalist
I am a journalist who lives in Sydney, Australia.
Until recently, I was living and working in India's largest city, Mumbai. I burnt my tonsils on vada pav and mastered the Indian head wobble, while roaming the country working for print, radio, online and photography. I have worked for Deutsche Welle Radio, KBR68H's Asia Calling, The Hindustan Times, YEN and CLEO. Read about my traveling adventures, watch multimedia on India’s festival celebrating the elephant God or discover the world of skin suspension.
