I dont know how I got myself subscribed to the ZEST list, but have been following the poetry postings on and off.

Occasionally try writing > on art; exhibition catalogues and the like. Have an amateurish interest in the sociology of science / history of science. In poetry I am an interested ignorant. Would have been nice to call myself an enthusiast of contemporary Bengali poetry, but alas, have read too little to say that. Have been in Bangalore for sometime now.

I work in Mumbai with an NGO on urban poverty issues. I write mostly verse, though am struggling with my first novella...been published a bit- TLM, nthposition online, etc...Check out www.nthposition.com- the June edition features one of my poems. > > > * > > Anand Vishwanadha, Hyderabad > > I have always had an identity crisis, and writing does help me find an answer to what I am, who I am. I am based in Hyderabad, call advertising a profession, am a Telugu Brahmin by roots and upbringing and a jack of all trades by fast-changing interests (and a master of none thanks to paucity of time). Well, to state two more facts, I am 32 and single. > > Honestly, for me poetry has to have pith, angst, humour or any other emotion and of course also some soul. My poetry has no strict style and I rarely plan it for that matter. I must also say here that most of my poetry is derived from what I see around me, or the happy, poignantly, pregnantly, blissfully bucolic childhood I enjoyed, back in Orissa. Poetry apart, travelogues are another muse, but then there are just 24 hours in a day, oh-so-sadly. > > > > * > > > > Anand Vivek Taneja, Delhi > > Anand Vivek Taneja is a researcher with Sarai CSDS and works on contemporary media histories in Delhi.

I am an engineer by profession, but this supposedly mechanical field has not killed the artsy in me, and I love to debate and write on issues pertaining to societal trends, gender issues and sexuality. The university of Delhi is an amazing place to explore ones persona, and the various sights and sounds I encounter daily have helped shape my creativity and sometimes, break the mould. > > Poetry of any kind appeals to me for its pithy attack, and occasionally, engrossing narrative. > > > > * > > > > Debanjan Bagchi, Singapore > > I am Debanjan, I work with money (banking) in Singapore.
