About us
Our team
Nookmag is a collaborative effort from average people pursuing their afterwork passion. We do not aim to provide you with the latest releases or information but rather a platform to share and exchange what we like and what’s happening around us.
Nookmag is all about having fun, doing things we like and in the course of that, meeting new friends.
We are constantly looking out for contributors and crew. If you have a good sense for fashion and urban cultures, heaps of passion and most importantly; a fun personality, write to us at info@nookmag.com and who knows, you may have your very own monthly column with us.
By the way, we do not mind making some “buckaroos” , so if you are running an advertisement campaign and wish to tap on to our readers,”Welcome” and it’s not gonna cost you arms and legs!
Yankit. Founder
A perfect synonym for “Jack of all trade, master of none”.Founded Nookmag on the pretext of having fun and to share the stuff that he likes. All in all, It’s just a funny way of justifying his fetish on shoes, toys and lifestyle. One must say that he has absolutely no character at all, has the weirdest sense of humour and dresses a bit too young for his age but other than that, he is all right. You can catch hold of him at yankit@nookmag.com.
Andy. Co-Founder
Avid angler that loves beaches, sun and lately, cycling.
27++ yrs old(2010) and counting, 70 kg and growing (rapidly!). Security professional by day, nook by night. Forever sporting a cliché sense of humour and anti social behaviour. Constantly surrounded by idiots who get a kick by making fun of him. kraziooink@nookmag.com
Worm. Co-Founder
The worm he is. A decent professional by day, a SHIT by night! (SHIT = Super Humorous Irritating Talent). A nonsense kid trapped in an adult body. A fan of hiphop, a cool wannabe, loves basketball, beatboxing, breakdancing, beaches and b-cups!
Worm was invited to join the Nookmag to do what he can do best… Irritate the rest of the crew.
Jing. Co-Founder
A typical woman with too many roles and too little time. Jing has too many bags that she never carries and too many dresses that she can’t bear to throw. Loves gadgets, fiction, online shopping & software. Hates lizard and bad service. jing@nookmag.com

Gracie.Columnist
The girl who spends her whole life dispelling the notion that size matters. Small and spunky, she believes that your life is only as big as your attitude and the size of your heart. Till today, the child in her persists in existence and life only gets more meaningful.
Her quirky idiosyncrasies make her seem like a living freak. She’s a nocturnal creature who loves to soak up the sun like she’s running on solar energy. She looks to the streets for inspiration because that’s where life happens. A huge adrenaline junkie, she’s guilty of making her parents’ hearts skip multiple beats with the adventures she wants to experience. And one thing she wanna tell you…invent your own cool!
