I’ve been working for more than five years with Planman Media as a writer and an editor for the Lifestyle section of three of their magazines. Most of the stories in the past three years have been published in The Sunday Indian magazine. I have written several travelogues, health and lifestyle stories in the past five years.
The ones I believe to have been particular landmarks in my career are –
A one-on-one interview with the world-famous Spanish chef Ferran Adria, who at that time was judged to be the world’s best chef (http://anugulmohar.wordpress.com/2009/10/31/meet-the-worlds-best-chef/)
An obit on Michael Jackson, which was greatly appreciated - http://anugulmohar.wordpress.com/2009/09/21/26/
About child-free people - http://anugulmohar.wordpress.com/2009/09/10/17/
An article spun around an interview with Mithun Chakraborty – where the superstar himself was left teary-eyed by my article http://anugulmohar.wordpress.com/2010/07/17/an-interview-with-mithun-chakraborty/
The inspirational story of cancer survivor Jothy Rosenberg - http://anugulmohar.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/the-amazing-story-of-cancer-survivor-jothy-rosenberg/

Wherever I go on holiday it’s always nice to meet and talk to the local people. They always let you into some magical secret that you feel is known only to you and a few privileged people.
I was born in England, spent my schooldays in Calcutta and have lived in Scotland for the last 10 years. I don’t feel I belong anywhere in particular. Travel is not only a form of escapism but therapy for my confused sense of where I belong.
After obsessively visiting exotic far flung destinations, in my maturing years, I have realised that I don’t have to go far to discover a new perspective of life. I love travelling locally in Scotland. The train station is just a 5 minute walk away from my flat. I jump on a train at Edinburgh Waverley and watch the world go by. In a matter of hours I can reach somewhere which is a world away from my sense of reality.
Food is a big part of the holiday experience. I am lucky that Scotland has such a great natural larder. On a recent trip to the Isle of Arran, I sampled everything from smokey garlic and chilli cheese to the finest, flavourful tender lamb I have ever tasted to something altogether new: the local peat water and trying to figure how it adds different flavours to the local whisky.
Besides pursuing a career as a freelance travel writer, I also run Ethical Venture: a platform for ‘little green’ ideas that are aimed at helping people in Edinburgh discover new ideas of becoming greener in their lifestyle . We’ve published the first ever green map of Edinburgh (www.littlegreenmap.com ) and also launched a green guide & website for women in Edinburgh called ‘Little Green Women.’ (www.littlegreenwomen.co.uk)

I was born in England but spent my schooldays in Malaysia, Borneo and Singapore and I have just moved back to Malaysia after living in Sydney for the past 10 years. I have no idea where home actually is but I like that idea, and love the idea of just traveling and writing for the rest of my life.
Food is a large part of my travel experience and Malaysia has some of the best in the region. Penang, where I now live, has arguably some of the best fare in the country.
Prior to pursuing a career in freelance writing, I wrote a SCUBA diving travel book for Australia, “Atlas of Australian Dive Sites, Travelers Edition”, published by Harper Collins, and I was in the investment banking industry for longer than I would like to remember. I’m a qualified Master Diver and a technical diving instructor, and I was actively involved in the clean up Australia campaign, where I organized teams of divers to help in the cleaning of Sydney’s beaches and waterways. Something I hope to emulate in Malaysia or at least help with.
I have written articles for the New Straits Times and various other magazines in Asia.
