I am a good Writer and Editor. As far as my writing accomplishments are concerned I am grateful to Dr. Sandra Goodman, Ph.D., editor of ‘The Positive Health’, a leading complementary health magazine published from Portsmouth, U.K. My first article ‘One Indian’s View of Diet: How Food Habits can Make or Break a Person’ was published in my first attempt in the magazine in its issue July’ 04. I was paid £ 75 (75 Pounds sterling) for the article. This is the link to the article.:-

I am fluent in the three South Indian languages . My knack of learning languages has helped me in distinguishing UK English and US English, which is an important prerequisite in the era of a globalized world.
(v) English Editing: I can do good editing of English texts and improve the readability of a text/ document. This includes proof reading, changing the entire structure of a text for its proper context and understanding.
Training & Qualifications
(iv) Educational Qualifications: I basically possess a First class three-year Diploma in Mechanical Engineering after completion of 12 years of Schooling in addition to initial schooling of 2 years as applicable to Kindergarten system in India.
I have also passed the ‘National English Language Testing Service’ (NELTS) jointly conducted by renowned publishers Orient Longman and CIEFL (Central Institute of English and Foreign Languages, Hyderabad, India). I took the examination in the year 2003.
I have a passion for English language which prompted me to successfully complete a course in ‘Diploma in Freelance Journalism’ from ‘The Writers Bureau’, Manchester, England. I had the credit of completing it within a very short duration in compliance with one of their options that the certificate would be issued for exceptionally good writers, who earn their course fee by getting their articles published in magazines/online even before a prolonged stipulated duration. To this end, I humbly submit that I received the special ‘Certificate of Achievement with Gold Seal’ from ‘The Writers Bureau’ in July 2008.
I have successfully completed my one year MBA (Executive) from Karnataka State Open University, Mysore. This is a Masters programme in which I have secured a First Class. I completed the course in 2012.
