About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding a travel for this december.

ABOUT ME

An engineering student,an aspiring entrepreneur and most importantly an avid traveler!
I am like a know-it-all who can have a conversation on everything. But I respect other's opinion and want to know their perspective. A HUGE tennis fan, played at a national level 3 years back. I love all racket sports.
I am very enthusiastic, especially whilst travelling. You will never find me tired or bored. I love reading but only like few conventional books. "Medium.com" is an amazing website to read stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

Road trips with friends.
Going on a solo trip to western Europe

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
Vegetarian cooking. I am not an amazing cook but my cook surely knows her food. If travelling, she helps me make a decent meal through Skype.
Yoga. I know my fair share of it.
Hindi, my national language.
Learn:
I am open to learning anything. You cannot know what you want to learn until you have learnt it. And whats the harm?
Share:
Culture.
My wacky insight and perspective ( I take too many things literally or to their origin. It is kinda fun). Eg: We shake hands because ages ago kings used to do so when they met each other to express their trust because they couldnt pull out a sword with one hand and normal people started replicating it since the kings did so and now the whole world uses a HANDSHAKE!
