Writings

These are links to articles and columns that have appeared in various publications and websites. (The titles link to the stories.) Also, the titles are usually not my ideas. I’m interested in reportage or commentary on art, gender, places/travel and some developmental issues. You can get in touch at anu.sengupta[at]gmail.com.
