Pursuing a science degree, got interested in English...switched fields and did postgraduation in English Lit. Worked as a professor of English at Chennai, TamilNadu, India. Retired, I live alone in my farmhouse far away from the so-called civilization with which I was not at home. I really dont know why I write, especially poems, but thoughts flood in and there I am writing, certainly not for fame. Like ejaculation, I do it for my own pleasure and I do find it once I write a good poem.
