I found myself taken to a new country Pakistan.The first ten years were happy and peaceful.1965 saw the beginnings of a war across the borders.At a very young age I experienced blackouts, martyrs, war songs, defeat and compromise.In the school time years I read about world history, world war I Advanced Geography of the Earth and English Literature. Very early in life

I fell in love with Nature.All inspiration I got from my Nature and peace loving parents who also inculcated the love of music and books. Reading was a joy and listening to stories was a regular feature.I read Classics like The Three Musketeers and Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and loved to be part of the family poetry sessions at home.Before long I found myself writing poems, subject would be just anything...and my two year study of English Literature polished the technical side of poetic expression....
