Mango Chutney: An Anthology of Tasteful Short Fiction. (30 page)

Shubham Kapur
is 21 and is stuck with a masculine name. She recently
graduated as an electronics engineer and is working in a prestigious IT
firm. She is busy tasting the realities of a corporate life and pursuing her
passion for writing at the same time. Somehow, codes and wires never
intrigued her the way fables did. She is a short-story writer and aspires to
touch her imagination through her characters. She is on the way to dis-
covering herself and everything different about life. If you like her story
or have an experience to share, you can mail her at: shubham.kapur@

Shweta Mukesh
grew up across continents and spends as much time
as she can backpacking. When she is not working on a farm in Hungary
or singing on the streets of Bruges, she maintains a steady corporate job.
Shweta graduated from UC San Diego and is a Young India Fellow. She
generally writes socio-political commentaries and has interviewed former
presidents, political activists, and filmmakers.

A first year college dropout,
Sidhharth
has been a jack of trades ranging
from a shoe-packer in Jammu to a Country Sales Manager in Dubai. He
currently lives in Delhi. An agnostic in the word’s truest sense, Sidhharth
refers to himself as a five feet seven inch tall question mark because of
his skeptic attitude. Of the four women he loves the most, his mother,
his sister and his daughter are three. He keeps the fourth one secret, just
like his surname. His initiation into writing took place in Dubai where he
had the comforts of a two-days-a-week job. He blogs frequently at www.
muktimantra.com and can be reached at: [email protected]
