Mandovi Menon is a recent Xaviers graduate in economics and statistics. She was brought up in Bombay, Goa, Delhi, and Calcutta, and developed a keen interest in the outdoors, music, art and literature in the process. Since graduating, she has written for Mid-Day, Guylife and Digit9. She also teaches music to very young children at the Mehli Mehta Music Foundation and likes to travel to preferably remote locations whenever she can. Mandovi's idea of a good time is a bunch of friends, some nice imported beer, and an independent movie on the TV. Mandovi is also a friend of the ents (to use reddit.com parlance), and loves taking frequent weekend breaks from Mumbai and pondering the meaning of life, which she's discovered, is not quite 42.
