About Benjamin...

Hello Everyone!

My name is Benjamin. I'm from Manipur, a small state in the northeastern region of India. My home state is isolated from the by a range of mountains and the climate is pretty local; it's never too hot, nor too cold, and we experience abundant rainy days every year.

I have lived in quite a number of cities over the past 15 years. I have become a drifter of sorts. I lived in Bangalore city for two years and in New Delhi for a little over six years. While in New Delhi, I split my time between attending the University of Delhi, where I pursued my Masters in English Literature, and The National Museum Institute, where I was a student of Art History. I was also a resident scholar at Tezpur University, Assam for five years. After the COVID-19 pandemic I now reside in Shillong where I lecture at the university on poetry.

I love old time Jazz and Folk music, and B/W French and Swedish films. I love pre-1900 paintings as well - Lautrec, Monet, Renoir & Gauguin are some of my favourite painters. I am an avid poetry reader and collector of beautiful books.

I welcome all kinds of postcards. But if you can send me a vintage black and white picture postcard, that'd be lovely. I'd appreciate it very much if you could mention your favourite book/novelist/ poet, your favourite piece of music, or cinema in the postcard.

Greetings and Happy Postcrossing.

Benjamin

P.S. If you've sent me a postcard, and it is expired now, please message me the Postcard ID, I'll register it anyway.
