Writer. Crossword Constructor. Mentor. Investment banker. These are just few of the hats that Mangesh Ghogre wears. All these hats seem to bring out the best in this talented individual. Mangesh's crosswords have been published in Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times - Mangesh is the first ever India-based constructor to have this honor. He is also the only constructor from India to be one of the judges for the prestigious American Crossword Puzzle Tournament held every year in New York. Apart from constructing crosswords, he occasionally dabbles into writing and his articles appear in the pages of leading Indian newspapers, such as The Times of India (including the Speaking Tree column), The Economic Times, The Hindu Business Line and The Deccan Herald, not to mention the vast canvas that his writings cover. This site explores the various facets of Mangesh Ghogre, while primarily focusing on his writings.
