Hi, I am Nandita. Have been member of Zest for a while but never got down to introducing myself. I am a sociologist and researcher in women's studies. My main job besides running an NGO is writing on social issues and the women's movement. I love literature and poetry and bringing in different styles to my non fiction writing. Haven't written poetry for many years now as it requires more leisure in time as well as state of mind. Hoping that reading other people will get me back to writing poetry. Want to get back to writing haiku.
 
cheers

Ok, I know this is a really delayed reply but I guess the new comers reminded me
that this is a task waiting to get done. So here goes.... I am a Scriptwriter by
profession, working with Times Music (Times Of India) in Bombay. Poetry and
painting are two passions that criss cross often with my profession, blurring
further the hazy boundaries between the two.

Amrita Pritam, william Blake, Keki N. Daruwala, Reetika Vaziriani... are some of the
poets I love reading. I particularly like originals of Amrita Pritam in Punjabi.
The rhythm and music that her original Punjabi poems have is often lost in the
meticulous translations. I write in free verse in English and Punjabi. I like semi-
abstraction in both painting and poetry and appreciate a tinge of spiritualism in
both.
