Rucha Takle
Hi! I’m Rucha. I'm one of the admins of Brangled Minds, and I simply love reading and writing. Other than this, my day is taken up by college, my pretty constant routine of procrastination and food. I love listening to Ed Sheeran and Coldplay, and singing along :D
Live long, prosper!! \\_//

Anisha Bhavnani
Hi. I'm eighteen, stereotypically unhinged and hormonal. I write for 'HumourUs', which could have been called 'Tickle Your Funny Bone(r)' were it not for the editors. I am a lover of dogs, and an eater of cheesecakes. I'm a feminist and I feed my soul with books and music. My writing is my cynicism and my humour, my love and my loathing. Though I complain about my country and the rapacious politicians in charge of it, I love its rekdi dosas, Diwali lights, bickering aunties, and blaring music. I also write a personal blog. Feel free to hit it up.

CO-EDITORS:
Shreya Vishwanath
Do you know that feeling you get when absolutely everything seems to be working in your favour?
Haha. Neither do I.
I’m just another one of your average, ambitious, messy, irrational, impulsive, starry eyed 17 year olds. I'm very fond of good food and I'm pretty sure my sense of humour isn't terrible so I write for the sections 'C.S.T' and 'HumourUs' '. I also edit some articles from the other sections before they're published.
I'd be happy to receive any feedback (preferably the positive kind)
Send it to [email protected] (Long story. Don't ask.)

Lakshmi Kher
Hyper, jumpy, free and talkative, all sorts of excitable emotions could be associated with me. Nevertheless, I have those serious thoughtful moments too, and I love people. Being social is something I do a lot. And of course, writing has been my passion for a long time now, accompanied by reading and dancing around. And talking. Here, I work as the editor for the sections ‘C.S.T.’ and ‘Nation wants to know…’ . And also work in progress with Neil Nagwekar as the writer of an upcoming novel to be published around August. Have fun, and remember, I love you people already!

Tejas Mehta
Hey! My name is Tejas Mehta and I studied at the Bombay International School. I'm an avid follower of Indian and international politics. I'm known to have vociferous views on many politicians/parties/ideologies.
Also, I'm a self proclaimed fan of Arnab Goswami. No wonder I'll be writing for the "Nation wants to know..." column at Brangled Minds!

I’ll be writing on ‘TV Series Reviews’ and ‘Football’. And yes, Utsav and I were the losers who decided to inflict this appalling website on the world. Blame us.

Rishabh Kothari
Hey, I am Rishabh and I am too jobless in life. I've been playing and following Cricket since the age of 10, the English side being my favourite whereas I've had a genuine interest in football, off late supporting Tottenham Hotspur since the days of Harry Redknapp. But what I actually do all day is watch a lot of Hollywood movies and TV shows and being a "kanjoos madvadi." I can help you make sure that every penny you spend, its worth it :)

Sunaina Menezes
I’m a dreamer, a Potterhead, argumentative, shy, obsessive, eccentric and fiercely loyal to my favourite books. My idea of a perfect gift is a dragon egg or a pensive (so now you know what to get me!) For me, travelling is one form of escapism. Books are another. I love unexpected twists, beautiful words, grey characters, emotional scenes and vivid settings. I’ll be your guide to the books not worth reading, the ones you can read over and over again and the ones that just pull you right in. So check out the Book Review section. It’s worth a 'read'!

I am part of the ‘Cricket’ section which will be analyzing all the happenings of the cricketing world. Mumbai Indians is my favourite IPL team… so during the IPL times you can expect a lot of bias! This is my first attempt at official writing!

Shashwat Mohanty
They say you fall in love only once. I guess I’m kind of different, because I fall in love every weekend. I fall in love with majestic passes, I fall in love with mercurial goals, I fall in love with fantastic saves. I fall in love with football every weekend.
Hey all, I’m Shashwat. Sixteen. Xavierite. Coldplay fanatic. Castle fan. Manchester City supporter since 2006 (before they got the oil!) Get in touch with me on Twitter @Mr_GoogleHead.
Cheers!

Aloha, earthlings! I am Sara Ansari, a student writer from Mumbai and probably the biggest Potterhead out there.

Love, Potterhead.

Aathira Konikkara
I am an introvert in the real world, extrovert in the virtual world. Mumbai is my home and Xavier's, the home within. I absolutely love everything Indian: food, clothes and music. If I were to be stranded on an island, I will be fine as long as I have a couple of books for company. I suspect myself of being addicted to WhatsApp.

Hi, my name’s Ritabrata Ghosh. I am gonna write in ‘Travel’; on the magic of discovering places. I’m damn passionate about photography and can’t stay without my guitar. My jokes are too lame though, I have a problem I think. Please bear with me.

Pratha Hurty Shah
Dad's name - not important. What is important though, is that I will be writing for the column "Nation wants to know". Politics and Economics are my new found favorite topics of discussion. I LOVE eating & mind you, this habit is not limited to food... I love chalk as well. I enjoy travelling, learning new languages and watching movies and TV (ranging from chota bheem to The Newshour). I love Marine life and adventure. Most of all... I love Mumbai!

I feel that the specialty of my articles is that it’s not only for IT junkies, but whoever will read it will thoroughly enjoy that and not feel like a dumbo. I promise you that I'll not make myself sound like Sheldon Cooper while recommending and speculating on political as well as technical aspects of the field of Information Technology.

Nihira Ram
Just another eighteen year old trying to save up money so that she’s not in debt after college. Damn aukat ke baahar waale sapne! For the past 4 years I’ve been sitting in my igloo in Ca-neh-da with my pet moose. But fikar not! I’m coming back! A feminist. An environmentalist. A LGBTQ+ Ally. Basically I'm Fox's biggest nightmare. I usually have a lot to say, and if I don't it’s probably because I’ve already said it. So, that’s it for me. Aap bataiye, baaki sab mast? |
Purabi Chatterjee
Heavily Opinionated 16 year old Slytherin Female.
A typical fangirl, I find joy in all things which help me procrastinate- be it books, tv shows, movies, youtube or vine. I am a strong advocate for gender equality and LGBTQ+ rights and live by the quotes:
"Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right"- Henry Ford
"Of Course it is happening inside your head, but why on Earth should that mean it is not real?"- Albus Dumbledore.

Utkarsh Pathak
Utkarsh Pathak likes to think he's a poet. He likes to think words are a manifestation of the most powerful form of power, that is conviction, and he likes to think he will one day grow and learn to use them efficiently. In fact, Utkarsh Pathak likes to think, and the sheer number of thoughts going through his head in a single instance would be quite staggering, could you glance inside. His obsession with perfection in the words he writes and a plethora of words gained over years of compulsive reading grant him a vast mental library to draw information from while he composes his poetry.
He is currently studying Humanities in St Xaviers college.
