Sandeep Sandhu
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.
Barnaby Haszard Morris
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.

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.
Pulkit Datta
Pulkit Datta is based in New York City as a graduate student in cinema studies and an independent filmmaker. He loves all things about Indian cinema and its interactions with NRI audiences as well as the larger mainstream non-Indian audiences around the world. When he’s not watching films, he writes about them, reads about them, and talks about them.
Gori Girl
Gori Girl lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she has access to a great deal of Indian culture. She has developed a huge crush on India in general, and Punjab in particular. Having developed a taste for bhangra and Bollywood, she tries to make sense of cultural differences with a bohemian eye and an ironic and irreverent sense of humor.
James Douglas
James lives in West London and credits his parents with giving him the Travel Bug at a young age. He recently returned from a three month tour of the subcontinent which quickly established itself as one of his favourite parts of the planet, and he now considers himself a firm advocate of all things Indian. He’s an aspiring writer and contributes to various travel forums, as well as maintaining his own travel blog, and when he isn’t at his day job or writing he can generally be found scouring the internet for inspiration for his next big adventure.
