 Just an Ordinary Jyo's Biography
Gender:Female
Birthday:August 31 1955
Location:Bengaluru - India
About Me:Changed jobs and profiles galore, but always hovered around the medical field as my base. Qualified as an anaesthesiologist and loved being one, but always dabbled in writing. I do it because I love to, not to write that Booker Prize-winner or reach the public with my words. Maybe it is sufficient if someone, someday reads it and feels they 'know' me.
Type of Writer:Family centered, observational, gentle humour loosely based on incidents from real life. Strong flavour of India.
Writing Style:Descriptive, gentle humour bordering on sarcasm at times.
Interests:Science Fiction fascinates, huge fan of Asimov, especially the way he wove sequels and prequels into his stories and interconnection his shorts into one whole Love cooking - it is a stress buster and I love to modify recipes to make 'em healthy.
Favorite Genres:Comedy,Sci-fi, Fantasy, Romance, Saga.
Favorite Books:Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen Full Moon - P G Wodehouse Apocalypse of the Hollow Chocolate Bunnies - Robert Rankin Foundation- Isaac Asimov Centennial - James A Michener The Bafut Beagles - Gerald Durrell Shogun - James Clavell
Favorite Authors:P G Wodehouse - my rave fave Isaac Asimov Michael Crichton Agatha Christie Richard Gordon James Herriot Gerald Durrell Jean Plaidy Georgette Heyer
Favorite Poets:Shakespeare Wordsworth Keats
Favorite Quote:The Reasonable Man changes to fit the surrounding, the Unreasonable Man changes the surrounding to fit himself - be grateful to him, for Progress comes from Change.
Favorite Music:Not Musical at all, but soft songs with meaningful lyrics are all good.
Favorite Movies:The Illusionist Sholay The Ugly Dachshund
