The Seeds: "The Meaning of Freedom" was an essay that I wrote in 7th grade. My teacher liked it so much that she sent it to someone in the US Congress. I received a letter of acknowledgement and, at that moment, my desire for writing took root.

Magazine Publisher: I published a South Asian cultural magazine from 1991-1993, earned a Journalism degree in 1993 from Stanford, and have written and published several non-fiction pieces.

Filmmaker: I have written, directed and produced short narrative films, cartoons, and documentaries. My short films have been screened at The Roxie and The Castro theatres in San Francisco. I invite you to watch my films at YouTube .

CURRENT: I'm currently working on a art book called It Felt Like a Kiss.

Ongoing: I also write fiction, poetry, and blogs and am working on a novel.

Twitter Mini Blogs: xplora (random stuff), notexactlyhaiku (not "exactly" haikus).

Workshop: If yo live in the San Francisco Bay Area, please come to my monthly Poetry Writing Meetup, a drop-in session for poets.
