GS. Subbu resides in Chennai, India. An engineer by qualification and a banker by profession, he retired in the year 2010. Ever since he has been writing on his blog ‘Sublimation’ and published four books – ‘I am just An Ordinary man, ‘Darkness and Beyond-A Medley of Many Lives’, ‘Autumn Leaves-Seasons of Life’ and ‘The Diary of Mrityunjay’.
