I taught English at PGDAV College, Delhi University (1963-2005), had a stint of teaching at Sherubtse College, Bhutan (1992-1995). Wrote a novel The Fourth Monkey, published by Indialog, 2006.

Watching films has been a passion with me for decades. Wrote film criticism as a freelancer and got published in sundry journals. For two years (1989-91) served on the panel of Central Board of Film Certification in Delhi, when Mr P.S.Bhatnagar was the chairman. The passion has now diminished but not died out altogether.
