Under the guidance of renowned humorist-playwright P. L.

He also taught journalism at K.C. College and N. L. College in Mumbai.
He started writing in Marathi, and has contributed to prestigious literary journals such as `Satyakatha’, `Mouj’, `Manoos’ and mainstream Marathi newspapers such as `Maharashtra Times’ and `Loksatta’. His first book, a collection of pen sketches of prominent vocalists, artistes and film personalities was published in 1997. The book, aptly titled, `Shubhra Kaahi Jeevaghene’, won the prestigious Maharashtra state government’s award for best literary work, and also the Maharashtra Foundation award. His second book is a compilation of essays on Mahatma Gandhi. `Gangemadhye Gagan Vitalale’ assesses Gandhiji’s role in the freedom movement and reiterates his relevance to contemporary times. `Gangemadhye Gagan Vitalale’ won, again, the state government’s award for best literary work, and also a couple of awards, for instance, the Nashik Sarvajanik Vachanalay and awards from the literary organizations of Ichalkaranji, Kolhapur and Sholapur. `Majyya Jeevanachee Patakatha’ is his third book. This is the Marathi translation of legendary Hindi film actor Balraj Sahani’s Hindi autobiography. The book traces the life and times of a great actor and his contribution to the post-Independent Hindi cinema. `Alakh’ is a collection of his Marathi poems, a fair mix of lyrics and free verse. `Alakh’ is a personal testimony to life’s bitter-sweet memories, with a strong metaphysical sub-text. `Sundar Tee Dusari Duniya’ is a journey through the key phases of Hindi cinema. The book is an anecdotal account of the early days of Hindi cinema, the trials and tribulations of masters who told an endearing tale on celluloid, notwithstanding paucity of resources and lack of technology.
