- About Me: I'm a Rutgers University graduate who discovered a passion for writing in college when I found myself enjoying researching for and writing papers instead of working at biology labs.

Apart from foreign films and cooking, my interests include photography, traveling, art history and interior design. twitter.com/sushbaral
