OUR MISSION
At PlusAndMinus, we welcome people from every discipline and culture to share and express what matters to them. This mission is rooted in our belief that our future has more voices, not fewer. We’re reducing the barriers to writing for everyone by providing a platform to express themselves, live in the moment and learn about the world. Let’s get through the busiest, messiest and happiest years of our life and figure out how experiences have added value to our lives.
WHY THE NAME 'PLUSANDMINUS'
PlusAndMinus is a blog that tries to showcase unique opinions through the voices of students. The name deals with the fact that we don't publish conventionally negative pieces, like most news outlets do. Hence, 'Plus' for positive journalism and 'Minus' for conventional journalism, because negative journalism is still important from the viewpoint of current affairs. However, we put out a lot of unique pieces that center on diverse topics, ranging from literature to dealing with being a teenager.
OUR TEAM
MUGDHA JOSHI
EDITOR
A feminist who writes not much about feminism. Sorta very emotional. Wouldn’t run a marathon, but could settle with a book and a cup of coffee.
CREATIVE DIRECTOR
A design geek who can never stop babbling about being a Swiftie. Would prefer having Aloo Parathas over Burgers anyday.
WRITING CONTRIBUTOR
A writer who started writing song lyrics and now writes about multitudes. Someone who wishes to lift her pen to spread love and hope.
WRITING CONTRIBUTOR
I'm Dhruv and I like having opinions on things. Apart from writing poetry and articles I'm interested in physics. Currently I'm looking to learn new languages for the heck of it.
WRITING CONTRIBUTOR
I am an aspiring writer, who stays up till unholy hours in the night flipping pages of classics, scrolling through human crises, experimenting with wordplay and making concoctions of human emotions through poetry. I exist somewhere between Franz Kafka's "never defined" and Oscar Wilde's "existence is a scandal".
