A features writer with The Economic Times, my areas of interest include politics, culture, the environment and human interest stories, particularly from the South Indian states. I am lucky to have the luxury of not being confined by a beat, and am always on the look out for a good story, in any sector. And though I'm based in Bangalore, I go where the story takes me. \nGot a tip, suggestion or story idea? Reach me at indulekha.aravind@timesgroup.com
