: About Me

I'm of that strange species, a Scottish Indian, my Sikh parents having come over to the UK in the 50s.
I've been writing for over 25 years for print, radio, theatre and TV. I'm a trained journalist and am best known as a dramatist and comedy writer, plus which I've written an award winning screenplay.

To add to all that I'm a qualified Trainer and in arts administration I've run the biggest Asian cultural festival held in Europe.

Twice married, twice divorced, one daughter.

I'm currently running a website, scriptschool.co.uk, which offers resources for writers such as training and digital publishing.
