Pooja Nair grew up in Pune, India. She worked for a major media corporation
in an earlier life and has lived in New York, London, Paris, Boston and Los Angeles
but her stories are mostly influenced by her early years in India. She now divides
her time between Portland Oregon and Palakkad Kerala, or wherever
she is allowed to pitch her leaf-green all weather tent.
