I’m a New Delhi based contributing correspondent for a public radio show called PRI’s The World. I also contribute to NPR’s radio shows, blogs as well as Science magazine. I spend most of my time covering poverty, development, hunger, malnutrition, other health issues – mental and physical, science and the environment. More recently I’ve also added gender issues to my reportage, and I spend a good amount of my time thinking and writing about how gender roles are changing in India and how it’s manifesting in people’s lives.
