Writing is in my blood. My first English story in print appeared in the Sunday Statesman when I was 14 years old – the year was 1958. The next one was in 1961 in the Times of India. Later, in the course of my service, I secured several prizes in in-house essay competitions. Therefore, when I retired from service, I took up blogging as a hobby. That helped me get recognition – I found a mention in the 2007 edition of the Limca Book of Records as ‘the most prolific blogger’. Suddenly, I received an e-mail – it was an offer to write for a website of Citizen Journalism. Named the Merinews, it was based in New Delhi. I accepted the offer and, within a short time, my writings found appreciation among the readers. In June 2008, I was chosen as the ‘CJ of the Month’ by Merinews.
