Stuff I’ve written

My professional work has always involved writing.

After completing my studies (IIT Delhi, 1978, and IIM Ahmedabad, 1981), I opted for software engineering, so my first pieces of creation (one could almost say fiction) were in COBOL and other such languages. Over the years, as I continued to work in the area of software engineering/ process/ quality, I also wrote training material and books on areas like software engineering, project management, requirements, estimation, processes and quality models.

It got a mite repetitive :-)

So, a few years ago, I started trying my hand at other types of writing. Years of precise writing (ponderous, too) had atrophied my ability to fantasize; I’m now trying to build my creative muscle. In the beginning I tried all forms of creative writing–short stories, humor and personal essays. Some have been published.

My current focus is short stories in the speculative genre (SF/F), and sometimes, in November I also get bitten by NaNoWRoMo.
