- I am a Kolkata-based Indian journalist who has spent more than two decades in the print media. I have written on practically everything under the sun, and covered politics, business, science, medical research , public health, films, entertainment, art, dance, litersature, developmental issues, and the environment in my long career . I have worked on several national dailies in my country, and freelanced for nearly every major Indian publication so far.I also hold a doctorate in African Studies and have quite a few academic articles to my credit dealing with the complex problems of third world development. I am currently associated with CIVIL SOCIETY, India's only professionally-published magazine dealing with developmental issues as their Regional Correspondent (East). I have also been writing a column-Gender Voices -for the South Asian Women's Forum's webzine-CONNECT. I am also a regular ffreelance contributor to Infochange India, a developmental news website, besides many other Indian publications. The environment is a subject close to my heart, and shall always remain so.

When traditional medicines are standardized,which is a far cry now,may be,it truly serve as an alternative option.
Thanks for your remarks.
It appears to be slated for Sept 08 now ,pl keep your dates available for visiting VARANASI and meeting sf buffs.
regards,
This is Sahar from the Dawn Group of Newspapers, Karachi. I have to write an article on "How to make climate change an interesting issue for common men". Please comment asap on this. I mean how can we make this dry issue, a crowd puller for the working class of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh?
Would you please do me a favour ? In near future[may be April first weak,08] we may plan a national discussion in Varanasi on use of science fiction in communicating science in media.I would like you to please participate as communication media expert and tell me more names,preferably two or three equally talented sf writers /reviewers who could contribute something of worth insofar as Bengali sf is concerned .We are trying to accommodate representatives of many other languages where sf has made some impact.This is going to be in all probability a DST [GOI] sponsored event and so logistics /remuneration /TA DA etc wont be a problem .And visiting a fabulous modern classic city -Varanasi with all local hospitality would be an added attraction. your response is eagerly awaited.
best ,
arvind
It'll be a big pleasure for me to be your friend.
Best regards
