Introduction A firm believer that God is the Provider, I look up to him for even little help. If it were not for HIM, I would've been nowhere. Yes, I live Life as it were a Miracle and my personal experiences have only strengthened my belief. Believing in the innate goodness of humanity, my motto is: Live and Let Live. I also believe that the pain and suffering of mankind, scant respect for human life, are the result of greed, egotistic tendencies, and lack of faith and mercy in some bigoted people. I like reading, singing, translating hindi filmy songs into English, travelling, love picnics, and wish that Life was one Big Picnic which never ended. I'm an ardent fan of the Legendary Indian playback singer, Mohammed Rafi, whose rich, versatile and emotions-inducing voice has enthralled me down the decades and it's his songs that I attempt to translate into English in some of my Blogs. Since learning what is acting all about, I have been smitten by the enduring awe and persona of True Acting Legend and Tragedy King, Thespian Dilip Kumar - about whom I have just given some food for thoughts in my second blog.
Interests Watching old movies, listening Rafi's numbers, Reading non-fiction, travelling, Singing filmy songs, Karate, and what not.
