Education: |

My passion for writing and a mind of my own made journalism an obvious choice for a fulfilling career. The journey began as a student from Delhi University where a bachelor's degree in Journalism gave me ample opportunities to explore the world by going out on the field. My learner’s spirit drove me to Masters in Anthropology to gain a deeper understanding of certain underlying questions of mankind. I have written well-researched papers on Stress among Media Personnel, Media’s projection of Indian EUNUCHS and The Dying Parsi Community of Delhi.
