JAYANT BAKSHI

There is a higher probability of Oasis getting back together than Jayant not having a pair of overpriced earphones on his person. A quizzer and debater, music has been part of his prep sessions as much as the peanut M&Ms he keeps stocked in the back of his book shelf. He’s a firm advocate against art elitism; just don’t say that Phir Hera Pheri was better than the original. He writes the column The Fool’s Gold Mouthpiece.

KEANA ÁGUILA LABRA

Keana Águila Labra (she/her) is the Editor-in-Chief of Marías at Sampaguitas. She is the co-editor of Chopsticks Alley Pinoy, a regular contributor for Royal Rose Magazine, a Poetry Reader for Homology Lit, and the anime and manga columnist behind Closed Captioning for Headcanon Magazine. Knowing the importance of representation, her work is evidence that Filipino Americans are present in the literary world.

POORVI AHUJA

Poetry. Films. Talismans. Incense Sticks. Clear Stream… She has prepared a 101-list of emotions that are often disguised as objects. You may meet her at an obscure café, comfortably nestled in a book or scribbling the season away in an even more obscure journal with rivers of espresso. Tree-gazing and reckless dreaming are her two most sacrosanct indulgences. Most days she allows herself to be seeped into the aroma of her books, shutting up herself inside the tender verse, in the pine with all things the world declines. She writes the column Cinesthetica. Occassionaly, she also writes at https://poorviahuja.wordpress.com/author/poorviahuja/.

PRITHIVA SHARMA

Prithiva Sharma is an almost graduate in English Literature, who spends her time whining, procrastinating, whining about procrastinating, and making bad puns about her course being ‘lit.’ She goes around talking about how Macbeth was ruined by four women and how Captain America deserves more than the world (in her column Captain’s Orders). She also writes, sometime, oftentimes, all the time really. She likes turquoise, balloons, orchids and fairylights. You can find her work somewhere on the net, just search the right spelling. You can contact her at prithivasharma@gmail.com

SPANDANA

Spandana is a lawyer and a cinephile. Law anchors her, but, cinema sets her free.

Her column Frames and Flashes explores films through personal experiences and unfulfilled fantasies.

When she’s not dissecting legal judgments, she’s imagining her Oscar acceptance speech.

ZAINAB S QAZI

Zainab is a media student passionate about all things literature, culture, films, and politics. In her free time, she loves to yap, eat, scroll, and read endlessly.
