Who Am I?
 Writing is either in the blood or it isn't ... just as any other passion in life. One can, however, improve it considerably with persistence and a little help. I am Taher, an established medical practitioner from Mumbai (ex-Bombay), India. A Consulting Pediatrician by profession, I began to write since the age of six or seven, and have authored many unpublished stories, poems, novellas, and even novels. MY PUBLISHED BOOK: Child Care: From Birth to Eighteen (ISBN 81-8046-023-1) (see "Front cover of my Parenting Book"
 ) Sold out in just over 2 years! |
I am a full-time practising pediatrician, but WILL find time to pursue my reading and writing hobby as the goal of my life is to continue on the path of righteous self-development. Awarded Items
