I have travelled most of my life. My father was in the Navy so my family has lived in different places. Travelling has become a way of life and I personally enjoy being rootless, yet wherever my family is, becomes my centre.
Reviewing films and TV Series is the other thing I enjoy doing. In my opinion, they are not passive entertainment. They contain ideology, nuances and most importantly, storytelling. A film is also a text and as Roland Barthes puts it, “text is a tissue of quotations drawn from the innumerable centres of culture” – widely open to interpretation.
Reading books, just like travel, is for me a way of life. My first book was David Copperfield when I was four years old and the list just grew. My undergraduate degree was a triple major in Psychology, Economics and English Literature. After which I decided to pursue my masters in English.
I have spent more than a decade teaching literature and film to undergraduates and postgraduates at a college in Bangalore, where I even had the privilege of heading my department.
I am currently, however, a research scholar engaged in a Sisyphean trudge with my doctoral thesis. When not seeing my efforts, go down the slope, I teach and analyse literature and film on YT, while freelancing as a writer.
