He did his early schooling in East Africa and later earned his PhD in India. In addition to many scientific papers, reviews, and book chapters, he has published a set of poems: Chameleon (Outskirts Press). These poems—illustrated with his hand-drawn color cartoons of nature, animals, and musical instruments—are aimed at introspecting human energies associated with violence, pomp, success, racism, war, fear, and guilt. In this fictional Chai story, the author aims to discover how the potential and speed of human thought is heightened in parallel with life-threatening situations, which create a window of positive balance for his mind.view less
