I am from India. I love to read, write and travel. I was an active blogger till some years back, but too much plagiarism made me sit back and block my site. I have restarted blogging, with specific focus on books and literary / creative works, as I am now into full time writing. My qualifications include an MA in History, and an MBA in Finance and Marketing (dual specialization). I have worked in the fields of taxation and legal compliance.
