Barnaby Haszard Morris is a Kerala-based writer split between lapping up the sights, sounds and smells of the Malayali salaryman’s life and longing for a cool beer on the deck at a Coromandel beachfront holiday home back in NZ. He’s happy to bore anyone with his obsessive knowledge of film history, and starts his day by checking whatever football and cricket scores are available to ingest.

Shiv Anand is a Delhi based Government servant whose mind is as fertile as the job is drab!! Witty and creative, he is the very definition of a couch potato, rattling off cricket stats backwards! Badminton & Chess occupy some of his time, as do writing articles, with a bit of mimicry thrown in for good measure! Loves anything that is vegetarian!!!

Meera Dattani is a London-based freelance journalist with a chronic case of itchy feet. She has worked wirelessly and tirelessly from internet cafes and beaches across the globe, from Buenos Aires and Kampala to Melbourne and Ho Chi Minh City. Writing about travel, people, social and cultural trends is what gets her fingers tapping. She’s also a keen tennis player with a brutal backhand, a real foodie and a big fan of all things eco-friendly.

Sandeep Sandhu was born and raised a Londoner, hailing from the prominent NRI outpost that is Southall. The town has certainly shaped his writing and perception of the world and continues to be a thriving cosmopolitan part of the city. More taken with literature and the arts, he quickly pursued these both academically and personally. You’re likely to see him providing social commentary on health and well-being, popular culture and the general cultural condition of being an NRI in London.

Peta innath Andersen is a freelance and fiction writer. Born in Sydney, Australia, to a Fiji-Indian father and Scottish mother, she’s a bit confused about her background, but loves it all the same. Currently living in the US, she has just had her first child, and is busy studying hard in an effort to learn more about her Indian heritage – including taking Hindi lessons – so she can teach her son about just what it is that makes an NRI special.
