Sujith feels, then thinks, then does. Very often, that combination of putting heart over mind lands him in hot soup, but he can’t help it. He’s a creature of many personalities. Sometimes outrageous, sometimes teeth-gridingly introverted, he likes thinking of himself as a mystery. He regards himself as being left-of-centre on the political ideology scale, and regards clear-cut conservatism and far-left liberalism as agents that would lead any nation to ruin. Sujith has been a relief teacher at a neighbourhood primary school, a journalist at Singapore’s national English-language daily The Straits Times, and a volunteer intern at Greenpeace Australia Pacific in Sydney. E-mail him at sujith.urbanwire@gmail.com – he’d love to hear from you! (Profile picture by Lavanya Kannathass)
