My name is Krish. I have been known by various other names including Krishna, Kris, Kitcha, Dr Kittu, and Dr Dong.

The Dr before Kittu was not in acknowledgement of my degree, as I was only a bachelor level student when I was called by that moniker. Dr stood for “doubt raja”. This was in honour of my irritating and needling nature of putting forth nagging questions to uninterested lecturers. Dr Dong was because my hostel mates needed a nickname that rhymed with Dr Dang of Karma (this was an iconic Hindi movie villain).

I did my BCom sort of enthusiastically and my MBA in drunk mode. Then, providence had me switch to economics and I completed my master’s in economics in Australia.

The Commonwealth government must have seen something in me that has evaded my eyes so far, they awarded me a scholarship to undertake a PhD in economics and econometrics.

Post my PhD, I spent some time teaching in Universities and expended some public money while serving the New Zealand government, first as senior adviser, and then, to the shock of even my parents, Chief Adviser of Research. Except very rarely, I made no meaningful contributions to public policy. In realisation of the fact that I had been promoted to showcase my incompetence and due to certain extenuating life circumstances, I returned back to Australia.

I now teach in a University. I do some consulting to appear important when I meet up with family, friends and colleagues. But even there, it is mostly creative writing.

Since I am generally not of much real value to anyone, my wife hunted me down, moved hemispheres and married me. I now work part time as professor and do the cleaning, cooking and other responsibilities around the house. I am a damn good chef and I also do executive education programs, and write fiction - but that is something you should have worked out by now.

My fiction works are mostly dark romances, bordering on strong language and themes. It is peppered with dark humour and cynical social commentaries. And, yes, there will be racy sequences catering to several categories/keywords. ...more
