I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a settled fellow in life with a wife and three children, earning enough to lead a contended life but not more than that to try every gadget that hit the market or every trendy object that define distinction. I believe in God without having the ability to explain why I should. Now I'm agog with literary ambition with two books published--one of them, a book of poetry in 2004 and the second one a short story collection in 2007--and I wait for the day when their commercial success and critics' accolades will prove my literary worth.

My Interests

Writing, Reading, convivial moments with friends, blogging

I'd like to meet:

Ruskin Bond, the master storyteller in India; here at myspace all those who would inspire me to think and write.

Music:

Light classical Hindustani vocal music

Movies:

SHOLAY (Hindi)

Books:

Kite Runner by Khalid Husseni; The Fountainhead by Ayan Rand; Tom Swayer by Mark Twain
