Once a correspondent with The Times of India, now a columnist for Sandesh, Sanwari and Cover Focus writer for Femina, Occasional Op-ed writer for The Tribune India and a writer of one info-tainment and one travel book. When I still feel like writing some more, I’m here.

I just received my doctorate in English literature in December 2011, but it doesn’t help to have grown up watching Friends (remember Dr Ross Geller?). I don’t wish to be mistaken for a real doctor, but if I wish, I could officially call myself Dr. Pratiksha Thanki. My family is annoyed about this, and I’m not joking.
