HeyoCritiq, who....

Well, I am basically a critic..neither a supporter nor a sympathizer of any political party.....or the high and the mighty. A former freelance journalist and (amateur) photographer who once made a living thus! A cheerful and jolly guy, completely self made, moderately educated, well read and travelled, gathering great experiences; learning from the thick and thin and deriving the wisdom of life. One who learns from everyone and firmly believes its a continuous process. Fairly honest who takes pride in calling a spade a spade and has a direct approach. Gets inspired by the honoured and the humble. Unsparing. A critic. Does not hesitate to self criticize; in fact, welcomes criticism and laughs over it / corrects if & when possible. An ardent believer and lover of God;strongly believe in Him as the Creator and the Destroyer.A devout man.........believes that God is the Ultimate & the Almighty. Nothing happens without him. A lot more.......
