Deputy Managing Editor Amberish K Diwanji has Gujarat in his blood -- literally.
Originally from Baroda, he started off in Mumbai with The Indian Post, worked at The Independent and television before coming aboard.
Amberish is rather Sherlockian in his approach to stories: mind over muscle is his
unbending principle.
Politics, national and international, is one of his two passions -- the other being, according to some colleagues, contemplation.
He brings to this election a keen intellect backed by a wealth of knowledge on Gujarat's internal dynamics.

This year he is on a whirlwind tour of western Gujarat.

Don't tell him, but we call him the Bulldog.

Firdaus will tackle Godhra, Naroda Patia, Maninagar, Patan and Mehsana.
