B.A. Hons in English. M.a. in English Literature  from Patna University

Ph.D  from Magadh University IN English Literature.

I have entered Academia with the aim of relentless motive to steer ahead thereby expanding horizons of learning by incorporating not just the Canonical but the non-canonical literature, for, any progress of mind and matter is possible only through the amalgamation of Tradition as well as modernity; this is my firm belief and I adhere to it. As a teacher, I have always tried to impart knowledge to my students through motivation, affection and i try not to leave any stone unturned in satisfying their curiosity and their urge to move ahead in life. of course, I do have a few articles to my credit which I wrote only when i felt motivated to do so.

Other than publishing a few papers and a book and taking up new and challenging texts/courses I have also taken some Tutorial Classes of M.A. Previous and Final students of Delhi University students, I have also taken Counselling sessions of IGNOU M.A. students. In addition I have also taught students of SOL, Open Learning, D.U. at the undergraduation level.

I have always enjoyed exploring Contemporary Literature, especially Indian Literature as well as some of 17th & 18th century Dramas ,also travel books of this period. Modern European Drama has been my area of specialization, while in the recent years i have developed interest in some of Indian and Classical Literature as well. 

Other than the areas of specialization specified, I have enthusiastically and innovatively taught subjects like Business Communication, Technical Writing, Creative Writing to students of various streams and levels and also courses prescribed for B.A(prog) students where I try to be quite considerate towards students with weaker language skills. 

Authored a book Vikram Seth, The Suitable Writer: A Critical Study, in the year 2007 by Creative Books, Naraina, New Delhi. Subsequently, this book was recommended for bulk purchase by CIEFLL Lucknow. 181 copies were sent to several libraries across the country.
