I always hate the self-description page so am going to get it out of the way first. I find writing the ‘about’ section absolutely hellish. It forces us to compartmentalise ourselves into set roles and characteristics. But can people be like that? I like to think I am more complex and complicated. As for what my ID cards say, I am Ranju Dodum.

I work as a journalist from Itanagar in Arunachal Pradesh and I wish to tell stories about a people and a place that the world sometimes cares too much about or too little.
