| Introduction | PhD student. Statsy-economist-policy researcher in training. Politics junkie. Un-apologetically centrist. Wants to teach, methinks. Amazing singer, self-verified. |
| Interests | Reading, Writing, Running, Politics, Yoga, Bollywood, Dancing, History, Travel. |
| Favorite Books | Rushdie remains a favorite - the sophisticated rusticity which characterizes his writing, betraying an innate Indian-ness without diluting any nuance or grammar. Shalimar, Midnight's children, The Moor's Last Sigh - I love them all. Non-fiction: Ramachandra Guha, Raghuram Rajan, Arundhati Roy, Pratap Bhanu Mehta, Amartya Sen. Fiction against a non-fiction backdrop: Khaled Hosseini, Mohsin Hamid, Mohammed Hanif, Aatish Taseer. Finally, Wodehouse and Shakespeare - growing up would not have been complete without them. Radhakrishnan's Bhagwad Gita is an aspirational read. |
