Hi, I am a journalist by profession for the past three decades. Currently in Nagpur editing a Newspaper. I have earlier been with news agencies, radio, television and web. Born in the now famous(?) city of Ayodhya, I have published 15 books in English and Hindi.
Random Thoughts: What is civilisation? What is the age of any civilisation? All civilisaions age. Infact, the age of a civilisation is actually the age of the process of getting civilised. And also, civilisations are seldom alone. If there is one, there will be a second, third, fourth. They keep interacting, which is often mistaken as clash of civilisations. By nature, civilisations attract. If you don`t go to them, they will come to you. It could be described as a meeting or a clash, depending on where you stand.
Favorite Reading: Of love and other demons, Blink, Khilega to dekhenge etc
Favorite Writers: Marquez, Vinod Shukla, Mark Tully, Noam Chomsky etc.
