I studied Arts and languages in the University.But i also had a curious liking for International Relations.
Later, I spent sometime meddling in Journalism and Politics but eventually settled down to more mundane things like working for a living.I am passionately Nationalistic and have spent years serving my country in various insignificant but historically important capacities.
I have a happy family to whom i look to for comfort in this desolate landscape.
Since the age of twelve, I have never stopped writing. I picked up a few awards in poetry, Drama and Prose.

I am an ardent student of Greek and Latin Literature counting in importance Homer, Ovid, Thucidides, Aescylus and others you may remember.
