I am a retired engineer trying to find ways to spend time during my post retirement days. The pandemic due to Covid 19 made me spend more time at home. I don't travel much, so I have lot more time at my disposal. I have a penchant for reading. I have always been reading fiction and non fiction books during my spare times even while working. I meditate daily as a habit since 1980. I discovered words of wisdom to apply in my daily life. I found great relief. That resulted in publishing my first book 'Mystical Musings'. I suddenly discovered I have interest in writing as well. I started conceptualising stories in my mind and i ended up writing short stories. Then I started penning small poems on issues of current interest during the lockdown in March 2020 and thereafter. I have now published my second book listing all my poems and short stories penned till date under the title "Lockdown Memoirs'.
