P. Pradeep Raj

Pradeep is an Information Technology Program Manager and Business Analyst by profession.

He is a passionate soul who loves rain, sea shore and exploring the world.

Pradeep has been writing poems since the age of 12.

He loves poetry and he considers each of his poem as his companion.

His poems primarily revolve around love, relationships, life and motivation.

Pradeep loves to draw and some of his proudest moments as a child have been when his drawings adorned his classrooms.

In addition to spending time on his other passions, through modern tools he is currently exploring, discovering and learning different perspectives of the art of sketching. When he is not using modern tools to explore sketching, he partners with his 8 years old nephew to draw nephew's favorite McQueen car in the good old fashion (just pencil and paper).

One of his most cherished personal treasure is a notebook with his poems and some sketches from the year 1997.

His first published book "The Heart Vendor" is a long cherished dream come true.

It is a compilation of poems that captures an intense emotional journey, from the romantic moments of togetherness, through painful loneliness, to hopes of redemption and liberation. This book also shows some of his sketching adventures.

Pradeep is currently working on his next poetry book.
