I'm an Internet entrepreneur (affiliated with the company behind Blogit formerly called Blogging Network) and an occasional writer. My book The Dual City: Karachi During the Raj was published by Oxford University Press in 1998, and I have been blogging since 2002*.
Named after a character in Brecht's Caucasian Chalk Circle, I moved to Silicon Valley at the height of the dotcom boom and still live in the Bay Area. Yes, the photograph is of our cats Cathia and Hopkins.
My partners and I founded Blogit to be a unique and exciting "social networking" venue that would bring people of very different viewpoints and backgrounds together in one place. Thank you for reading me and for being a part of this thriving and very different blogging venue.
* All earnings from my Blogit blogs will be donated to a nonprofit. And, all opinions and content on my blogs and the people, blogs and links I've included reflect my personal preferences and politics and have nothing to do with, nor influence, Blogit policies.
