My Biography
Born about 150 years ago in Hyderabad, Pakistan but stuck firmly somewhere in the mid 80s at virtually all levels.
A physicist by education, a classicist by desire, I exist in the north-London Bermuda Triangle where ships like me lose themselves and are found much much later as nothing more than ghost stories.
