A simple man who has "nothing" to BE proud of!
Random Thoughts: 9th February 1982, the initiation of my adventure!

Born to two educationists after perpetual begging from GOD, my life started with infinite hopes and boundless expectations. Call it a blessing or just good fortune, I was brought up with a different perspective altogether. My father flooded me with ambitions and mom preferred feeding my soul over my body.

My Sister accentuated on charm of persona and perfection of personality. Thus together my family made every effort to transform me into a man, ideally UNFIT for the world today.

I grew up analyzing people and the society around me and realized how it was in a complete contradiction with values taught at home. Probably this was the point when I started seeking shelter in words that later became my best friends. Many thought, I was born with the art of putting the right words together but little did they know that alphabets and I go back a very long way!

Commas, semi-colons, periods, excalamtion marks have all become my best friends. Out of them all, one enjoys a special place in my life and thats a question mark. We often meet in Solitude, argue and then cook; Cook our ideas in the heat of our debate, our discontentment, our inconsistency with the morals of our society and the next thing we smell is the aroma of our heartfelt conclusion;Conclusion that you might refer to as an article, a critique or very simply, an ordinary piece of writing.

For many, this piece of writing would be nothing but a waste of paper, sqaunder of time, atrophying of effort, invasion of hard disk space but ask me and its my essence of living!
