Fat. Poet. 

The End. 

That's who I am, but my friends say I should write more about myself here... so I am going to try. I am Indian, living in India, and also writing in India(sorry folks no astral projection here). I am following a set of pointers to write this bio because me writing one extempore will mean I go off on tangents and we end up talking about Dr Who for about 1000 words, and then you'll just go away from this page thinking, "yeah, that guy's weird AF". 

So instead I'll talk about what inspired me to write - reading, that's it, no huge moment I knew I was Tolstoy incarnate or the torchbearer to Tennyson's legacy. I loved reading and then I wanted to tell the stories that those stories form in my head (I also love convoluted sentences, you have been warned). Ever since I was a kid, my family always encouraged me to read, and it helped me immensely.

I got into writing because it was cool, I got into sharing my writing because like every good author who writes and wants to share their work with the world, I also felt the insane need to shove my work in other people's faces and through sheer dumb luck, some people liked it. I become the clingy puppy and clung to them, and they somehow came to accept me as a friend. Y'all know who you are, and have no idea what it means to me, but thank you. 

My ambition is to write more, read more, work, earn money, eat pizza once a month and not gain any weight from that.
