I've been a journalist for 40 years, having split my career between India and the United States. After reporting extensively on social and political conflict in India, I earned scholarships at the United Nations and Stanford University, and eventually moved to the U.S., where I have worked as an editor with four newspapers, currently with Newsday, Long Island, NY. Art is my passion. When I'm not racing deadlines at work, I'm sketching or painting outdoors or drawing on a computer.
