about me

I never wrote much when I was young. Writing used to be a painful and loathsome task, limited only to the stacks of nasty-looking workbooks and textbooks on my bedroom desk, in addition to the ones I lugged around every day in my heavy schoolbag, like a mule.

Interestingly, when I was still 9 or 10, I became adept at managing kids, mostly younger cousins and less-than-human offspring of visiting family friends. I told them stories and kept their little minds away from their mundane tasks (which ranged from smashing windowpanes to setting the house on fire!) Sometimes, a grateful parent would overhear and later thank me profusely for my noble contribution to their social life, quite unaware that the stories were all made up by me (once again, by compulsion; reading was also a pretty shitty job at that time.)

Many years have gone by and now I’m back to telling stories again. But nowadays, I read a lot as well. And I'm still quite the natural artist that I was in my childhood. Although, sketchpens and paper have now been conveniently replaced by MS Paint (check out my book cover and profile picture)

So that’s me, in short. Read my stories and feel free to tell me whatever you think. Thanks.
