I have been writing poetry for the past 30 years. I handle both traditional rhythms and free verse. I am a post-graduate in English literature and also hold a post-graduate degree in defence studies. I hold a post-graduate diploma in Journalism with a gold medal and Times of India cash award for having secured distinction in the course.
My poems have appeared in several anthologies published at home and brought out by fairly reputed publishers. One of my poems secured a cash prize in Asian Age, a prominent daily published from New Delhi. Poets International, a journal published from Bangalore, has taken my poems regularly and also in the anthologies. Among the many web sites where my poems have appeared are unesco.it, poetrymagazine.com, museindia.com, poetsindia.com, synapse.net., crimsonfeet.org etc.
I also have my blogs in sulekha.com.

nudge a meditative voyage;
...
I move with a purpose,
from this spot to the other,
uncovering a meaning
behind every stop;
