I have indulged myself in various pursuits, active and inactive, among which I like the most abnormal one amidst youngsters– reading.  Moreover, unlike an enthusiastic sports doer, who often is a stereotype of strength, muscles and health, a "keen reader" sounds like only a polite way of calling a "bookworm". 

However to me, reading is no agony. From Shakespeare's Hamlet, to George Orwell’s Animal Farm, and even to J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter, I all embrace with heart. In the perusal of my books, I commiserate, empathize and share joy with the protagonists. 

This experience in itself is delectable.Another reason why I hold reading & writing so dear is that, in books justice can for all time be upheld, however subtle it may be.  It warms my heart to discover that good prevails over evil even if that triumph is only fictional.

I also maintains an Internet Publishers Survey, in the interest of helping aspiring writers. For this service,  i  won the "Special Recognition for Service to Writers" award from "Preditors and Editors," an author's guide to publishers and writing services.
