About me

Gender Male
Occupation Writer
Location Bangalore, India
Introduction I am a novelist, cartoonist and songwriter - I can also play the guitar a bit. In my previous avatar, I was a manager and software geek for longer than I care to remember. I chucked that to become a full time writer. Other than English, which is my primary language, I know German and French. Indian Languages: Bengali, Hindi and a bit of Marathi. I am single and looking for my soul-mate. I am based in Bangalore and have spent over a decade here. I have lived in a number of other places in India and abroad, including Africa and Germany. I am a shameless francophile and love European Culture and languages, and am interested in European History. In no particular order - I love women, music, my guitar, my dog Chikoo, my bike T-bird. I worship women, and consider them a form of the ultimate divinity.
Interests Humor, Music, Trekking, Riding my Thunderbird
Favorite Movies The Matrix
Favorite Music Blues, Indian Classical, Western Classical, Jazz, 70's Heavy Metal. Worship Jimi Hendrix, Nikhil Bannerji (Sitar), and Mozart
Favorite Books The entire oevure of P.G.Wodehouse. I read and reread PGW incessantly. I hardly read anything else. He is my mentor as far as my humor writing is concerned (However, I try to write in my own voice).
