Devendra Bhatnagar

Capt. Devendra Bhatnagar, aka Bhutto loves the written word. He also relishes early morning hours when the world sleeps and his dog CJ at his feet, for penning thoughts that flow from his mind to the virtual window of the WhatsApp groups of his friends and family. His second book of poems could only happen thanks to the encouragement of an increasing readership.

Bhutto loves eggs, books, the ocean, CJ, CNN News, mithai, chocolate milkshakes, good coffee, a great malt, dinners with friends, cycling, and the occasional film (he has slept through some of them though). Bhutto is also the managing director of the leading health food company, Whole Foods India.

Bhutto was a captain in the merchant navy, and sailed close to 27 years and has circumnavigated the world numerous times on freighters. To all who know him, Devendra is the ‘rock’, the dependable source of strength, the pillar, the listener and the ever-reliable son, father, husband, friend, boss and also the ‘bestest’ friend to his beloved dogs.

He prefers being called a wordsmith rather than a poet.
