My Publications

Here’s a partial list of things that i have published so far (in various magazines).

Well, so far, i have not fared very well as far as content churn is concerned. Mostly because of my self-induced-coma-like-tamasic-laziness. My ancestors would have scoffed at it (maybe they already are. However, if my life is any indication, i think they are benevolent and merciful, like my parents. But i digress, again).

Here’s a partial list of things that i have published so far. Hoping to increase the quality in the times to come (Credit: Anton Chuvakin for inspiring the format): -
