View More Ajit Kumar Jha studied Philosophy at St Stephen's College, Delhi, and Sociology at the Delhi School of Economics, Delhi University.Currently, he writes in diverse genres for various clients and also writes independently on different web platforms.In the process of building his career, he claims to have learned at least two valuable lessons. First, it is not for your personal satisfaction alone that you write, rather you write for others, pretty much like any other professional who works for others.The second important lesson for the author is the importance of a unique way of telling a story.Ajit Kumar Jha lives in Delhi along with wife and two kids. He is most likely to be spotted in his chair fiddling with the keyboard nearly any time of the day or night, seven days a week unless his wife drags him to some silly family or social function, literally by his collar.He subscribes to the Buddhist philosophy of silence and the Gandhian philosophy of passive resistance because he found that after wasting all their energy in shouting and in theatrics, the opponents are left drop-dead exhausted, while you remain energetically smiling to your glory.
