His short story, 'An Absurd Romance', was published in Scholastic Nova's anthology "Music of the Stars and other Love Stories" (2012).

Your careless sense of humor is bewitching, I suppose this can bring ladies to their knees :))). It's a pleasure reading you...every little word.
Thanks Unikorna, that's very kind. As for the ladies...not nearly as much as you'd think!
One of the best "About" sections that I've ever read. Loved your instinctive sense of humor. :)
Thanks, Sowmya; much appreciated. :)
This reads so fluidly!
Well, there's my obit sorted. :)

Haha, thanks for looking me up, Marvin.
Your profile made me smile,laugh and proud that a mallu can be so carefreely and fantabulously hilarious. Looking forward to read more posts. I'm bookmarking you! :)
Flattered. Thanks, Tia.
