Background
Information
I am a retired Stuctural Engineer living in India. Writing used to be a hobby; now it is a passion. I do not write for gain or fame, but because it makes me complete. People fascinate me and I have friends - offline and online - all over the world. I try to be tolerant, but I have a high IQ and I do not suffer fools gladly. The first thing I look for in a new friend is a sense of humor : next comes honesty and respect for other points of view. My other loves are romantic movies, easy listening music, reading - and my wife of 32 years.
Birth Place
Bombay, India
Accomplishments
I have received some awards during my engineering creer, burt those are irrelevant here. No writing awards yet - but I'm working on it.
