A postgraduate in English, A. Thiagarajan taught in colleges in India before joining the finance sector. Currently employed in a multinational bank as a deputy chief operating officer, he has been writing in English and Tamil since his college days; though quite a lot of them remained on the paper he wrote on (that is, when not consigned by him to the waste paper basket). Nuances of relationships between individuals, mental pain and cruelty others inflict on each other and within themselves are his obsessions. Interests include finance, Sri Aurobindo, and mythology.
He lives in Mumbai with his wife Rama and his 21-year-old son, Ganesh studies in the U.S.

So, You Know |
They say if you look at your own shadow
you will get sick-avoid shadows altogether...
don't flirt with him during the day
and with her during the night-
But if flirt you must, when do you?
They grow larger & smaller
depending on him or her
and how close you are
to the where you see your shadow
And they are not there if you turn your back
So, you know what to do-
Don't ask me - I am your shadow, pal
and I can't tell you anything
when you don't open your mouth
I can't see when you close your eyes...
I can't do what you don't do,
Therefore there's every reason for you
to take care of me...
So, you know what to do...
