Biography
After almost a year of writing and copy editing at the Vogue India office in my home city of Mumbai, I realised that what I was truly homesick for was my academic life in England. (I had spent my undergraduate years at the University of York.) I soon returned to pursue an MA in Postcolonial Studies at SOAS, and stayed on to push my intellectual interests—specifically in Anglophone African literatures and literary cultures. When I am not thesis writing, I take up freelance features pieces for Vogue India, Mint Lounge, and more recently, Africa in Words—focusing on books, and other book-ish behaviour.
