Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To travel around the world... trying to find the when and the how!
ABOUT ME
Well, I'm an easy-going, next-door-boy kinda guy. Loves to hang out with friends and family. My buddies say I'm a friendly chap with a good sense of humour. I get along well with almost anyone I meet. My passions in life include good food, diving, reading, photography and of course, travelling.
I belong to Kerala in South India (which is referred to as God's Own Country!) and for the past two years, I've been in Mumbai working as a television journalist.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is short, enjoy it as much as you can!
