He holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Delhi, where he taught and researched for over four decades on developmental issues related mostly to women, children and the aged at the regional level in India, during which he became more and more convinced of the need to take to creative writing to bring about social change in India.He slowly shed his garb of a development economist to put on a new one as a creative writer. His maiden venture of this kind was " Road not Taken, Memoirs of a University teacher from the newly emerging second world", Bookage Publications, Delhi, 2011. His three other forays into this field are (1) Onam on the Yamuna banks, Palimpsest Publishers, New Delhi. 2012 (2) Extraordinarily Ordinary, Partridge Penguin Random House,2015 and (3) Double Rainbow, LiFi, New Delhi, 2016.The sharp insights that he had drawn in his earlier avatar, coupled with his flair for writing makes interesting reading particularly since he is also blessed with an excellent sense of subtle humor. No wonder that his books have all been received very well in the market and also by reviewers.voir moins
