Mumbai - India. The busiest city in my country!
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.
