He pioneered the application of computers to library and information management in India, and the development of India’s first and only open-source library management system. His expertise has been used by international organizations, such as UNESCO, FAO, and IDRC-Canada.
His interest in creative writing was like a dormant shoot, ready to sprout when conditions were favourable. Retired life in Mysore, India, and the company of people who view life through a wide-angled lens, has been the trigger for his creative writing begun a few years ago, first with short middles, then poems and stories that were privately circulated to a few friends and relatives. Encouragement from friends that these should be published has resulted in the book in your hands.view less
