About me

I'm Jai Arjun Singh, a freelance writer and journalist based in Delhi. I write a fortnightly film column for Yahoo! India and have also written for Business Standard, The Hindu, Tehelka, The Sunday Guardian, Open, Caravan, The Indian Express and The Hindustan Times, among other publications. My book about the film Jaane bhi do Yaaro was published by Harper Collins India in 2010, and I've edited an anthology of film writing, The Popcorn Essayists: What Movies do to Writers, for Tranquebar.

In the bloated archives of this blog (1300 posts and counting) you'll find my writings about books and films, but also many posts on other subjects, among them: evil water tanks, Delhi traffic, the Rafael Nadal-Roger Federer tennis rivalry, why not to call your parents-in-law "mom" and "dad", Ekta Kapoor's Mahabharata, and my canine child Foxie.
