Ratul Ghosh spent most of his left-brained life in the C-Suite across boring conglomerates and clueless startups. In the time he had left, he managed to play the guitar, write songs, belong to unheard-of bands and write the odd word or three. He loves the poets, from Elliot to Bukowski and Leonard Cohen; and the writers who mix the real and imaginary, like Pratchett, Gaiman and Murakami. He has been a columnist for the Economic Times and his short story was one of the winning entries for the Deodar Prize 2023.
