A journalist for over seventeen years, Pinki Virani was born in Bombay in 1959. Educated at Bombay, Poona and Mussoorie, she did her Masters in Journalism from Columbia University in USA under the aegis of the Foundation Aga Khan scholarship. Following an internship at a The Sunday Times, she reported extensively on the race riots in Britain before returning to Bombay to edit Mid-Day. She has launched a city magazine, edited a city paper, and reported from all over the country as special correspondent to a national weekly.
She is the author of three books -- Aruna's Story, Once was Bombay, and Bitter Chocolate. All three are nonfiction and confront uncomfortable subjects. Aruna's Story is about the rape of a nurse that left her in a coma, and Bitter Chocolate is about child sexual abuse in India. Once was Bombay is a collection of seven non-fiction stories with themes varying from the history of the city to analyses of its current state. Pinki Virani is married to a fellow journalist and lives in Bombay. |
