About the author

I define myself as a novelist writing for the global age. My parents made Atlanta our home, my grandmother made Mysore a home of another sorts, and I chose to make New York, Madrid, Lisboa, Sao Paulo, Cuzco, Delhi, Mombasa, Tokyo, Istanbul, Yogyakarta, Bangalore, Shanghai, Moscow, and Cairo my homes. At the moment, I have traveled to 140 countries in a decade, lived in 25 different corners of the planet, and speak 12 languages. I currently live in Mumbai.

I am the author of we of the forsaken world... (Iguana Books, 2020), the Portuguese-language story cycle Afora Adentro (Editora Labrador, 2020), the Spanish-language poetry collection Autobiografia (Letrame Editorial, 2019) the Mandarin-language poetry collection Kiran Speaks (White Elephant Press, 2019), as well as the Kannada-language travelogue Tirugaatha (Chiranthana Media Solutions, 2019).

we of the forsaken world... is the book of mine which has gotten the most acclaim thus far. Taiye Selasi has called it, "A fascinating, genre-defying work. Meditative, thought-provoking, Calvino-esque," whereas Kirkus Reviews has seen we of the forsaken world... as "A compelling mosaic of worldbuilding," and Midwest Book Review as "a deftly crafted work that showcases the author's impressive literary skills, flair for originality, and exceptional knack for the kind of narrative driven storytelling that keeps and holds the readers total engagement."

Anyways, looking forward to connect with more people, from all corners of this wondrous earth. <3
