Balaji P. Rathnam

Journalist and author

  • ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
  • Windsor Gazette
  • 2010 to 2023
  • English, Kannada
I've been writing from 2010 to 2023. First as a hobby, then as a job and finally as the thing I couldn't stop doing. I run a small writing group that meets every second Thursday. I never rush a conversation. I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.

More about Balaji

Some of my pieces still make me wince. Some, I'm proud of.
What gifts mean to Balaji: A gift would give me a bit more time to write instead of taking on extra work.
