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.
