Tutu Dutta is the raconteur of tales and the keeper of old knowledge and wisdom. She was born in the little hamlet of Churachandpur in India. She soon left the green hills for Calcutta and from there to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which was a quiet little town when she was a little girl. As an undergraduate, she won a scholarship from Japan Airlines to spend a summer in Japan (hajimemashte^_^), which was a life-changing experience. She has also lived in Strasbourg, Singapore (where her daughter was born), Lagos, New York, Havana and Zagreb.

“The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.”
James D. Nicoll
