An Autobiography
The scattered story of a life lived in books. Books shape us, teach us to feel, comfort us, and ruin us irrevocably if read correctly. They change us.
Books are the affliction and the cure. And if you find one that is special enough, one that you love, you must let it slowly destroy you.

A WHIFF OF FRESH AIR
Life is like one long poetry and the various experiences that we face in life, are its stanzas. It is the beautiful and not- so- beautiful stanzas which add up to form a poetry. Similarly, with life, it is the sum total of all our experiences which add up to form, what we call life. If the stanzas, gel with each other, like cogs in a wheel, a good poetry results. Similarly with life, if we gel with both the good and bad experiences that we come across in life, we end up having a fulfilling life. For every experience is like a teacher. If we learn our lessons from them, we end up becoming good poets. In this poetry book, I have attempted to share some of the experiences that I have faced in life or someone close to me has. It also highlights the way I look at life.

The Thing About Us.
This is an anthology about us. About people. People around us, people like us, people who face their things, or avoid their things in their lives. People who grow to be better people, or people who stay stagnant. These are the tales people often ignore, since it is not as big, as heroic, nor as entertaining as the adventures of heroes. But, isn't that also the thing about us?Complete

An Unholy Sacrifice
The story is about me and my journey through life. It always seemed to me somewhat self-indulgent and egotistical for somebody to spend time writing about their life and then expect other people to read it. I am not a writer, something I think all my English teachers at school would have concurred with-I was a mathematician-but I felt obliged to write my life story after my inner world conspired to write a response to the problem of Being. My Philosophy of Being is original; it flowed from my life journey over ten years like a stream from its source. I knew that if I were to reference my primary source, I would have to write it first. Reluctantly, I set about writing my life story, but as I wrote it, I realised there were other reasons why I needed to complete it, which should become clear as you read it.Complete
