| Introduction | “With Wheels for feet”, is the way I would describe myself. Blending my twin passions for writing and travel, I pursued freelance Journalism for over two decades before turning totally to blogging in recent times. I have over 2000 articles on various subjects featured in leading Indian dailies and Inflight magazines, in addition to publications (Khaleej Times, Gulf News & The Gulf Today) in the UAE where we were resident for 25 years. I have posted some of these stories relating to Travel with photographs, here on my blog. I have always been fascinated by the noble world of white coats. My blog medicalogue features medical articles that had written after extensive interviews with Specialists in the respective fields. Between 2014 and 2017 Prism Books Pvt Ltd, Bangalore, published 4 volumes of Quiz books compiled by me, titled Quizzotica Anant. They commissioned me to re-narrate Valmiki Ramayana in condensed form for general reading, and another children's version for kids aged 6 to 9 years. This was followed by Hanuman, a book of stories on the Vanara God. I have also been in the teaching profession while in Dubai, both as teacher and lecturer. |
