In 1987, after twenty years of successful practice in India, he moved to the United States in search of new life and new adventures.Dr. Kulkami exclaims that his “compelling urge as a writer is to portray ever-changing life through poetry and fiction.”Selections in THE SUNDANCE... attest to Dr. Kulkami’s rich cultural heritage and to his love for and involvement in his adopted home Western Oklahoma.
