About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Is to make time to travel and get away from the busy day to day life. Want to be a full time traveler soon

ABOUT ME

Im an amateur photographer and a wanderlust. Im also into arts very much. Did a couple of Photo Exhibitions for my University's Art Gallery. Im into tennis right now. I work as Chair Umpire and Linesman for tennis Tournaments. Im also a big foodie and a food connoisseur. I write reviews on Zomato.

PHILOSOPHY

Take chances, Take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up & with who, it always ends up just the way it should be. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel always. Be you & be okay with it.

Favourite Quotes:
"If we admit that human life is ruled by a reason, The possibility of life is destroyed" ~From the Movie Into the Wild

"There is a mistaken belief some rather mysterious skill is necessary to become a good photographer. Whereas the only real requirement is the ability to see clearly and objectively. Plus of course having the urge to take photographs." - Paul Liebhardt
