Journalist by day, writer when all else fails. I write and take pictures of things that inspire me.
My work has appeared here, here, here and here. At 25, I moved to New York to give journalism one last try before committing myself to a nunnery, or, you know, finding something that made money. After sufficiently flailing about, I stumbled upon a neat reporting job writing about Google things, music rights things and invention things for an intellectual property law magazine.
Here, I write about life and its (mis)adventures, like surviving the city’s oppressive summer without a/c, the impermanence of roommates, and how celebrity encounters render me a spastic mess. My photo expeditions yield discoveries of the non-cherry blossom kind, of graffiti-covered walls and, most interestingly, of people.
My travels, meanwhile, have taken me to the super far and the not so far. I still say studying abroad was one of the best things I ever did in college.
E-mail me if you have a burning desire to tell me stuff you can’t tell me here. For everything else, there’s Twitter and Tumblr.
WHERE’S THE RSS FEED!?!?!!? lol
Thanks for reminding me, Ben! Should be up and running now.
I’ve been meaning to do that… Stay tuned!

Hi Karen,
I read through some of your posts. Traveling, writing, and photography – is a neat combination:) and I guess it sums up to make Journalism.
Warm Regards,
Shafali
