"Let heart do the writing, mind will correct the grammar and your knowledge will do the rest"... I beleive in this saying, my dad taught me.
What more can I say about me? I'm asking you, never mind that, let me brag about myself a little
Born and until high school brought up in New Delhi, India. Its a great
place to visit, you got to see the vibrant culture, at least of what is
left in the name of modernization. Then went to United Kingdom for a few
months. Then did my under graduate and Masters here in USA.
I use to love writing poems and books ever since I was in middle school. I use to write really silly poems that rhymed but made no sense for my friends so they could give to their boyfriends, sshhh! don't tell their parents. I was best essay writeer in English and Hindi (Mother Tongue of India, not an official language, that is English). During 1984 riots, I even wrote a book that my family had torn it because at that time, Indian government officials, mainly from Janta Party (party of fanatic Hindus) had no shame as always, were raiding unlawfully in people's houses with the help of already corrupted scruplous cops. After that incident, I had stopped writing and had forgotten to write. Then of course life happened few other years. I even stopped keeping a journal.
I don't remember how, but I found my way back to writing when I came back
from India's trip of 2004. So, sometime in 2005 I started to write and
I even tried writing in Hindi, boy was that difficult. I know it sounds
terrible, how the heck could I forgot my own language. Perhaps because
I've not had Indian friends and/or had not spoken for years and years.
Dang, No, I'm not that old, I knew it you would say that. That's pretty
much it about me when it comes to writing.
One of the most common subject is obviously - Love. So, I said what
the heck even if my love life pretty much sucks, I'll try to be that weirdo
who is always smiling and floating in the air for no aparent reason. So,
here are few of them...
Now the opposite side of the coin is Pain, now that's the bitter reality
we often choose to ignore and yet live it everyday in some form or the
other, one way or the other. So, here are some
bitter realities
I think I do have some spirituality left in me which is NOT AT ALL anything
to do with religion. Its more philosophical aspect of inner thoughts.
Religious person not necessarily is spiritual specially when they are
hard core fanatics at least that's my thinking and vice-versa. Let's
see if I've been able to capture my spirituality in words...
Laughter is best medicine and hardest thing is to make someone laugh.
That's a challenge enough for me to see if I can achieve that. You need
to be intelligence is important factor when it comes to humor, that's
why I think comedians should be applauded the most, of course if they
make you LOL or ROFL - get with the lingo already. But I'm no where near
to be a comedian. However here are some of
poems that could qualify for humor category...
There are some spooky, weird and just plain couldn't be included in any
of the main category, so I created my own - Have No Clue, no seriously
I've no clue what to call them. You know how sometime syour mind just
goes on its solo wandering about nothing. Its such a common issue that
even NBC had approved Jerry Seinfield & George's sitcom idea - a show
about nothing. Now that's what I call intelligent sitcom. Get
ready to be spooked while going through my twisted brain's maze and see
if you can find your way back...
So, what's your philosophy in life?
I try to live by what I've learnt mostly from my family, specially my
Dad. Yeah, yeah, Yeah! I'm my daddy's little princess and proud to be,
always.
I've penned few for you to ponder upon regarding relationship, success
and in general. So, go have fun
Behold your breath, don't freak out on me now. It's my way or highway
(lol). Neah, not always, what about if I said mostly, alright, lets stick
with 50/50. Go ahead you know you want to, don't be shy to enter my philosophical
world.

I've tried writing few short stories, not much, just for fun. So, I
thought you know what, may be I'll include my thesis, essays and other
form of written expressions I can include here. Oh well I'll see how everything
goes...
Anyways, here is some spooky write I've attempted to write, which I hope
you'll enjoy reading. So click on to read, its not that long.
Until my list doesn't grow, here's my very first short story...
