I am a teacher by profession pursuing a PHD in linguistics which is my true passion. I love to read as much as I love to write. I write poetry and fiction but love to dabble in philosophy too. My favorite genre is romance, romance, and did I mention romance? Jane Austen is my favorite romance author. I love happily ever afters, but I love a good tragedy too. Romance being my favorite genre doesn't make it the only one! Harry Potter is my most favorite tale of all time! Yes, I am a proud PotterHead and a true Hufflepuff at heart. I also love Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe which a think narrates precolonial Africa as one with soul and culture- a human story,  not one with human-like deformed creatures as suggested by early literature. Did I say I have a favorite genre? I think you get the picture by now. I love to read everything!  I also love to dance, Shakira being my most favorite musician.
