edit data

Ramaswamy Balakrishnan is a first time writer. He’s an electrical engineer and is an alumnus of the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad. He has headed the Sales function in several major MNCs, and has worked in the US and Europe.

He loves the complex nature of the human psyche, and therefore loves philosophy of any kind. He believes, “Science begins when you question perception. Philosophy begins when you question the perceiver.”

He also believes, “A good writer has two aims. One is to make the reader be a part of the story. The other is to provoke the reader to think. Whether the reader agrees or disagrees with the story or with the writer is irrelevant.” He also writes poetry whenever his heart begs to be heard.
