Who I am I consider myself to be Tri-national, combining an essence of proudly being Tamilian ( In 2005, I went back to the country of my birth after 20 years, for WOMAD Sri Lanka ), African (Nigerian to be precise) and sometimes quintessentially British (Asian), as those have been the roots of my upbringing!
As with everyone, I too have shared many trials and tribulations in life, but have stayed positive and reflective. My creative outputs teamed with good friends & sheer perceverance have helped me through a lot and thus, I count my every blessing. Leaving a thriving IT career for journalism was indeed a big step, but certainly worth it! I started in journalism without a single contact to my name - just a good bunch of editors who encouraged me to keep writing and since then, have produced over 350 articles on various topics. I believe that one you find your dream, never look back - the universe, as Paulo Coelho says, will help conspire to make it come true, even if it means the world around you changes!Click here for a revamped version of my very first article - Asian music through the ages.
