With Degrees in Philosophy and Psychology, I spent Eight Years in learning Vedas, Sacred Books of Hindus.

Interested in Philosophy,Psychology,Reading( any thing),Writing and anything that stimulates the mind.
Married for thirty years with Two sons, a daughter and Three grand children.

I started Blogging in August 2009.

Another point is that I do not know what I am going to write.
