life as a journo

I started writing at the age of 15 - much later than few I know involved in the field of journalism - as a contributor to an e-newsletter. I wasn't very good at it but kept pursuing it, so much so that I was forced to change career paths; landing into print journalism from computer science.

I have written on topics ranging from sports, politics and news to IT, fashion, entertainment and the world of pharmacy.

Landing free concert passes, chance to interview celebs and sports personalities and travelling around the globe on company expense, I am in love with the world of journalism.

Click here to view some of my contribution and payback, to this world.

the interest in photography

An interest in photography developed randomly and grew into a hobby that I started dedicating more than a few minutes to.

Covering cricket matches, fashion
shows, music concerts and randomly walking around with a camera, I have taken, and edited, a few photos that I like.

As before, comments welcome and appreciated. 

Jump to my photography page, portfolio, some decent pictures, and cricket.
