About me

Hi! I’m Jinal.

Culture and commerce fascinate me. And in particular, the diffusion
of culture via new media. I’m interested in intelligent exploration of media as it relates to brands, fashion and the global psyche.

I’ve been blogging since it used to be called ‘diarying’ (circa 2001) Even though I have worked mostly in new media, I do not believe ‘traditional’ media is ‘dying’ or that it will become non-existent. To me, digital, is a media/communication platform that will alter and act as a catalyst in helping us, media professionals, re-invent, re-think and re-imagine the world of communications. But never replace media as we know it. Maybe I am wrong or maybe I will revise my opinion at some point - but for now, this is where I stand.

I have actively
been adding to this dialog and am most interested in continuing this
discourse with like-minded people.

More about me:

I moonlight as a fashion journalist/ writer and hold a full-time job as a strategist at an innovation shop. I’ve lived in Bombay, Rome, Philadelphia and now, New York. To me, the concept of home is very fluid and non-linear. I love learning and I am always hungry to know more. I am a better communicator as a writer, than as a speaker. Writing is my passion but sadly I don’t dedicate enough time to it. When I was younger, I dreamed of fame and glamor, now I value simplicity and contentment more. I don’t pause often. I live fast and I live large. I want to cram seven lifetimes in this one life and from the way it looks - I will most certainly end up achieving that
