Author bio

A young and passionate writer and artist, who appreciates all modes of art and believes that “Art is the impression of beautiful things”. He also believes in hope, healing and that the endurance of pain is a vestige of a promising future. In his earlier life he had faced many obstacles and found solace in the books that he read, the songs that he sung and finally the poems and stories that he wrote. He claims his writing is not “fancy” but it does “pave a way to an enriching soul, body and mind”. His earlier publication, “The Masked Vendetta” was written at an attempt to enter the weekly writing contest of ‘Reedsy’. Although he could not wager the $5 fee to enter the competition, he did persist on writing his story; which would open a side of him he never knew even existed. He is still a growing writer and one would certainly love to grow with him.
