Venky

I'm Venkatesh Iyer ("Venky"), born in Chennai, India; lived in Kathmandu, Nepal, for 35 years; now back in Chennai. I dream of recognition for my writing - a skill I learnt I had in school and that I allowed to rust for too long. I hope to get published soon. I like to write humorous stories based on real life incidents as far as possible. I hope to swap ideas and comments and criticism in the coming days with fellow members on Writing.Com
