CURRENT MISSION

To be and let be!

ABOUT ME

Born in India not too long ago, leading a nomadic childhood drifting from town to town as a military brat. Have lived in most of India growing up, leaving for the United States to pursue a long but exciting PhD. Love to have impromptu adventures, am often described as a tad reckless by friends, but I tend to differ. Enjoy chilling out, and being at peace. Am dating an orangutan from Russia, one of the last few of their kind. Not too fussy about things, and am easily satisfied. Enjoy most company, and most lessons, however harsh. Good times await!

PHILOSOPHY

Go with the flow

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moments of foolishness stick in memory longer - leaped into the freezing depths of a salt water lake that chilled my soul, burnt my skin, and pulled my swimsuit off.

Teach, Learn, Share

To learn and teach are a constant feature of human interaction, and its always a pleasure to learn about local cultures, and people's interests. I am always glad to share my minimal experience of the world, through my childhood in India, and my education in the physical sciences. Also love to jam, which is a musical give and take, and hence a great learning experience each time.
