Yanit Mehta
Yanit, according to the US Immigration offices, is: a non-permanent resident alien. He sees his life in America as a topsy-turvy James Joyce’s Ulysses-esque journey (the California version). He moved here as a doe-eyed eighteen-year-old studying Film, English, and Comparative Literature at UC Irvine. Then, made some life-long friends in Orange County but knew it wasn’t his perennial home. Consequently, he was pulled to the eerie fog and Monterey Cypress of San Francisco like a moth to a flame. Now you can find him training for marathons, sticking googly-eyes around the city, or tutoring the loveliest kids at 826 Valencia.
