I’m a poet and freelance writer in Bangalore, India. My first collection of poems, City of Water, was published by Sahitya Akademi in February 2010. My poetry has also appeared in several journals including Eclectica, Nth Position, Pratilipi, Mascara Literary Review, Asian Cha, Kritya, and Muse India. My work was part of the anthologies Mosaic (Unisun, 2008), Not A Muse (Haven Books, 2009) and Poetry with Prakriti (Prakriti Foundation, 2010). I’ve performed at poetry festivals such as Poetry with Prakriti 2008 (Chennai) and Poetry Africa 2009 (Durban). In 2008, I received the Toto Funds the Arts award for creative writing and in 2010, I received the Charles Wallace Writers Fellowship to University of Kent in England.
My current clients include Iconoculture, Just Books, Fida and Arghyam. I am open to considering writing / editorial consultancies in areas of interest. I contribute articles on art, gender and travel to newspapers and have been published in The Guardian (UK), The Hindu, Bangalore Mirror, Outlook Traveler guide books, Deccan Herald and Mid-Day. I am also founder-editor of Ultra Violet, a site for contemporary feminism in India.

Dear Anindita,
Your work glows. Thanks for sharing your writings and poems!
Quick question: Did you by any chance study at the Naval Public School in Delhi? I had a classmate with a similar name, and I do see a slight resemblance. A shot in the dark, perhaps, but just thought I should ask.
Keep writing,
Rucha
@Rucha: Thank you for reading.
No, I didn’t…
Madam,
I read your article on Transgenders and your conversation with Priyababu which was really interesting for me.As a student of Gender Studies I met Priya babu and Kalki. Recently in Koovagam (Villupuram District) I have attended ‘International Fashion Festival of Transgenders.’
I came to know about the blog UV today.the blog gives me good exposure and interesting articles which is very much helpful for me for feminist theory paper as well as on LGBTQI concept
Thank you for your writings which inspires me to work on them and building up my own perspective on Gender.
With regards,
