About

Well - I'm an ardent politics buff, frustrated lover of literature, tech geek, die-hard quizzer, Formula 1 fanatic, and a hard rock fan.

As Popeye the Sailor Man once declared, with admirable self-awareness: "I yam what I yam and that's all what I yam"

Background

At present, I am working as an Assistant Professor of English at Royal Global University, Guwahati where I am also the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs and Coordinator for Value Added Courses. I am also reading for a PhD from Gauhati University with a dissertation focused on Post-Soviet Immigration Literature. The title of my dissertation is - "Hybrid Texts, Plural Identities: Deconstructing the Hyphen in Contemporary Russian-American Literature".

Prior to this, I did my BA and MA in English from Tezpur University, Assam.
