An ex-banker by profession, I resigned from service in the year 2015 to devote more time to literature. At present, I have contributed to more than twenty-five anthologies.I have received the POIESIS AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN LITERATURE for two successive years. Moreover, I have been recognized as a DISTINGUISHED POET for the year 2016 by POEISISONLINE as well. I hope to complete my solo collection of poetry first, followed by my solo story-collection and my novel.
