Bhashe, kalpane, soundarya, rasa make great mpressions on him. Among the literary figures he likes are his brother (an unknown genius who never writes), Kuvempu, KSNa, Bendre, NSL Bhatta, Channaveera Kanavi, Karki(Hacchevu kannadada deepa), Bhyrappa, KV Iyer, Tagore, Sharath Chandra, Bankim Chandra, Thomas Hardy,etc.
He has already given a lecture in Sahitya Gosti, which won him accolades. He has published some articles on www.thatskannada.com,Swarna-Setu and some previous Kannada Koota magazines. His other interests include simplicity in life, ecology, listening to a wide variety of music (rap completely excluded), appreciating the wild beauty in nature like King Cobra, stock market, animated discussions with soul mates, etc.
