A second year college graduate for the second time. Loll... I took Statistics major to begin with. In my second year, I lost my father to heart disease when I was only 19 yrs and had to work to fulfil my family commitments. In my run after money, I lost my graduation. Then, by mere inspiration I decided to challenge Frost's "The Road Not Taken!" I came back, but only this time I chose the road less traveled by. I took English major. I am a freelance writer now supporting a mother and sister, living in the southern part of India, in a city called Chennai. In the last five years I have faced a nice segment of life, a lot of joy equally balance by sorrow, a couple of love affairs, the loss of my dear pet Romy, one near fatal bike accident and a three hundred grand debt. But life just moves on! I too do!

I write poetry and short stories too. I am looking forward to publish my first book.

Blogit, for the past few days has been an experience. It gives me the light of hope by epitomes of resilient people who inspire in me the strength to face and fight the twisted ways of life.
