I am a doctorate student trying to understand ancient humans. When I'm not working, I like to understand and interact with present day humans. I am an explorer at heart.I love backpacking and taking the less traveled paths. I grew up in many different places with different cultures , languages and people in various parts of India (Jaipur, Kanpur, Allahabad, Cochin, Ranchi, etc). I love to read, watch good movies, play guitar and to go for adventure sports (paragliding, kayaking, rafting, climbing).

My favorite quote from Kung Fu Panda: "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it."
