Shalini Udayasurian

I've been described as a cleanliness freak, sugar junkie and a gracious host. Chai, my elixir. Music, my escape. Travelling, my high. Writing, my opium and food: my Nirvana. Trained to be a journalist, but working in a regular desk job, my escape from mediocrity is words: writing & reading. Not a qualified couch potato yet, but not too far away either. Occasionally funny, but mostly sarcastic, I constantly have both my feet in my mouth. Quintessentially brown - coffee table politics, arm chair cricket, ‘strict’ vegetarian - I check all these boxes. Dreamer, writer, chef (?), event planner and "everything" critique are all hats I don easily. Fitness, being active, sports - things that don’t feature in my vocabulary (good metabolism is a rare gift, I intend to revel in it while it lasts!).
