I waver between romanticism and realism, complexity and simplicity - and usually end up somewhere in the middle.
I am best described as a jack of all trades. For me, writing is a deeply therapeutic thing - it keeps me sane. I have been writing poetry for a long time and am usually aghast when I re-read my poems. In the realm of books, I thrive on Wodehouse, swear by Rushdie and Naipaul, and would probably sell my soul to write like Gabriel Garcia Marquez. When desperate for reading material, I read the ingredient labels on food jars.
My most significant achievement upto date is to have found my perfect soulmate. My career has not yet attained that kind of perfection but I'm sure some job, somewhere out there is waiting for me and probably gazing at the moon at the same time I am.
I love chocolates, oranges, originality and boxes. I hate brinjals, clichés and stereotypes. I have no opinion on papayas and politics.
