About Me

My life story could be condensed into a passion for enriching my human experiences, an incessant endeavor to cultivate myself in a broad realm of knowledge, and to proceed in an interminable odyssey of self-fulfillment. My educational path started with a bachelor in Physics, two masters in Economics and Religion, and a PhD in Oriental Studies which is about to its end.
Along this way, the pages of my book are being written with coming across intellectual and cultural legacies of peoples and opening horizons toward world's cultural heritage spanning from Casablanca (الدار البيضاء) in Morocco to Kolkata (কলকাতা) in Bay of Bengal, and from Belgrad (Београд) in Balkan to Kashgar (喀什市) in Central Asia and Córdoba in South America.
Questing for happiness and meaning, trusting my heart and intellect to navigate through life, being loyal and family-oriented, and stepping out of my comfort zone are the integral parts of my character and lifestyle.
