Hello everyone. I am Arvinder Kaur from Chandigarh India. A former Professor of English Literature and Media Studies I developed a passion for the Japanese short forms while still in service. I started writing in my native language first as I felt that I owe a debt to my mother tongue. Gradually I moved to writing in English the second language that is close to my heart. I have published a few books in all these years.

I love the jacaranda blossoms and find the sunsets very evocative. I heard about the marathon from my friend Shloka Shankar. So happy to be here. Looking forward to the marathon.
