About

I am a writer, editor, thinker and dreamer; I however, strive to realize those dreams, the outcome of which is always positive—for the betterment of self and society. I hail from a family of journalists & have been one for the past 12 years, starting my career with The Indian Express and moving on to The Times of India. I am now the publisher and Editor of one-of-its-kind monthly bi-lingual colour magazine on environment, TreeTake, which is of Nature, for Nature, by us. It is a genuine and positive effort aimed at creating awareness with well researched articles; engaging common people and making them realize their individual duties to help make possible a clean & green society; highlighting issues and challenges before us with the motive of arriving at positive solutions. I hope this magazine acts like a medical practitioner who is able to diagnose what ails the health of a person & then refers the ‘patient’ to the ‘expert’ who provides treatment that ultimately cures. It is not about negative criticism guided by petty politics but transcends the boundaries of politics, states & even nations—after all the earth & its environment concerns everyone & no part of the country or the world can claim to remain unaffected by adverse impacts meted out to it. I am also an author whose first novel—A Life Less Lived, a social thriller—was well received. My second book ‘A Grey Story’, a psychological thriller, is also a winner. Yet another release, Two-&-A-Half-Stories, is a must read too. The book is available online as well as in stores Pan India and overseas.

  • A one-of-its-kind bilingual magazine on environment. It is a positive effort to highlight issues and challenges in the way of sustainable development, find out reasons for the same and suggest expert and possible solutions. We sincerely hope that this magazine will prove a milestone in creating public awareness and helping environmental revival; to make the common man realize that it is only when he/she participates with complete honesty and responsibility in efforts—both individual and governmental—that positive results can be made possible and our Mother Nature can be saved from further degradation.
