Raised in India, I came to the States for graduate studies. Trained as a health economist, with a Post-doc from Univ of Chicago. Taught in various colleges including Texas Tech University, in Lubbock, and Barnard College, in NYC, and now in Kean University, NJ. I live, observe, write and chase goblins, and astronauts in Short Hills, NJ, as a mom and improvise (with mixed success) perfectly decent recipes as a wife!
