23, Born and brought up in Delhi, India and studied in Kharagpur, West Bengal for half a decade. Went there to become an engineer, but somehow ended up being a theatre actor and an occasional writer. Now working as a business analyst in an e-commerce giant.
I like to think I have a way with people, can understand them by getting into their shoes. Still new to blogging, learning as I move slowly but steadily with encouragement from fellow writers. So feel free to drop by, criticize, laugh, feel with me.
Will try to attempt all forms of writing and let people decide what I do best (if anything at all).
Passionately Yours,
Prateek π
