An Architect by profession he spent 15 years in Saudi Arabia (1981-1996) following the Petro Dollar boom.The stay abroad widened his horizon and added new images cropped up in his poetry. Limitless desert scanty-leafed palm trees hot and humid days the distance of seven seas and smells of Middle East contributed a unique angle to his poems.</p><p><strong><u>Shaakhsana</u></strong> is the fourth collection of his poetry. He thinksthat instead of producing poetry and literature it is just enough for our well-being if this literary world is propelled towards the goals of creation.</p>
