The Accidental Blogger

My blogs

Gender	Male
Location	Richmond, BC, Canada
Introduction	I write first to entertain and amuse myself and hopefully amuse my readers as well! Hiking and a little modest mountaineering have provided me with some of the most intense periods of living; these pursuits therefore provide the bulk of the fodder for my literary forays. I spent the first two decades of my life in eastern India (Liluah and Kolkata), followed by almost three decades in Mumbai, before finally washing up on the shores of British Columbia, Canada. Ironically, I live in Richmond, perhaps the flattest and lowest place in all of Canada! Fortunately, the North Shore mountains are always on the northern horizon and constantly provide spiritual comfort for a soul that craves altitude...
