Sujit Chakraborty has been a journalist since 1982 and has worked on a surprising range of subjects, from culture and art to criminalisation of the Marxist political party in the eastern Indian state of Bengal to telling the world what Mother Teresa was really suffering from in 1990, a closely guarded secret till his revelation. Sujit has specialised in environmental journalism. He lives in Thimphu, Bhutan, and is the driving force behind Bhutan Today, the kingdom’s first and only daily newspaper.One journalist travels on various errands and assignments across the plains of northern India. Not fussy about personal comforts, passionate about watching and understanding others, he observes and makes mental notes. His background as a former Leftist activist takes him closer to the common people, like the itinerant singer who prays to the long demised Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti to rebuild his future; like the impoverished government janitor Bikol Tanti, who loses money trying to win a gamble.
