I graduated as an Engineer from IIT Kharagpur but I retired as a banker from State Bank of India. Though brought up on a staple diet of the English Classics, I grew up being nurtured by the writings of Albert Camus, Sartre, Hesse and Dostoevsky. Camus's 'The Fall' and 'The outsider', Sartre's 'Nausea' Hesse's 'Steppenwolf' and 'The Glass Bead Game' and Dostoevesky's 'Crime and Punishment' have been great influencers.
Though I used to write in my earlier years in a scattered form, it is only during the last four years that it has taken shape through my blog 'Sublimation'where i took the opportunity to explore various facets of life and ultimately led towards the completion of my debut novel 'I am just An Ordinary Man'which is more in the nature of a fictional autobiography.
The books at present on my table are - 'Finding Neema' by Juliet Reynolds. 'Being Mortal' by Dr.Atul Gawande and 'Atmatirtham' by Nochur Venkatraman.
Reading is now the food that stimulates my writings
