Hello again denizens of Chowk, the original weblog. Shalom from old New York, home of the Republican National Convention, a city that is at once both cliche and revelation.
I fancy myself a writer, but work in investment banking to support the habit. Some of my work has appeared in print in Ego magazine and the New York Daily News, and on-line at sulekha.com and liberality.org.
I invite correspondence, though any negative e-mails will be stared at menacingly with hateful intent. My addy is shan[dot]anwar[at]gmail[dot]com.
