Eleven things about myself:

1.  I believe that Poetry is a medium of expression; “Poetry is speech and Speech is poetry.”
2. Life is short so there’s really no point in complicating it. Love the motto ‘Live and let live.’
3. I love going on long drives and watching movies with friends in my spare time.
4. I believe that the best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
5. I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.
6. Hope is essential.  So when the world yells give up, I try it one more time.
7. I love travelling to new places. Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.
8. I believe that the shortest distance between two people is a smile.
