CURRENT MISSION

be more in tune with the wandering spirit

ABOUT ME

I am curious (not in a pesky interfering way) about cultures and people, Iam adventurous and enthusiastic. I can get carried away often....especially with generosity. As my friends say 'I am generous with time , money and spirit' Don't know though it is good to be that way in this cut-throat world, So I am trying to curb that.
I enjoy doing many things....actually too many things. I take photographs. I used to run, along with my business partner, a restaurant in south Delhi (called gunpowder) where I used to cook as well. I happen to be a cultural anthropologist by training and vocation...i teach at a university in Delhi.

PHILOSOPHY

I do not to like to carry negative energy. Peace and compassion, however cliched, is what I want and feel the world needs.
