Who is this…?

You cannot stop this.

You cannot escape it and you cannot turn it off. In this world of tension, pressure and pain, he’s known for his wisdom, compassion and relentless determination in the quest to getting it so wrong. 

He is Shan. The Michael Jordan of emotional literacy. He is a pint-sized atom bomb dispensing wisdom in punchy modernist campaign slogans and sharper than razor op-eds. He is a sad-eyed, super-strong battery of nuclear-powered prose & he’s about to explode!  Shan was born in Colombo in 1984. At the age of 17 he was discovered by the publisher Brian Bharratt when winning an award for a short story based on Shan’s first brush with love. A debut collection of articles shortly followed when Shan became a contributing writer to the Guardian Australia. 

In his blog “So Wrong Diaries” Shan soars. His frustration at the situation in Canberra is rocket fuel for a series of blog posts which encases him, projects him, makes him indestructible. Although Shan had always fancied himself as a journalist, it is this stark blog of hard hitting posts that should be considered The First collection of Shan articles. It’s the world according to Shan. 

Really though, what Shan represents is the story of one ass-kicking Tamil kid who blasted through the industry bullshit and made a startling, profound, honest blog where he bares it all. Well, almost…all.

Follow Shan’s journey as he meets interesting people, learns how to cook, and builds his most prolific relationship: one with himself.
