About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To us all towns are one,
And all men are our kin.
யாதும் ஊரே யாவரும் கேளிர்

If we were meant to stay at one place, we'd have roots, instead of feet!

ABOUT ME

Friends call me DSP! The person who smiles to all the living creatures who comes to his proximity. Like everything under the sun. Till learning the nitty and gritty of life at 30's. Love to be in a company of friends and at times love to be alone having a solitude time.

PHILOSOPHY

Take pride in how FAR you have come.
Have faith in how FAR you can go!

Hosted Niklas and his friend Nils from Germany. Chilled out guys, took a gap year after completing their high school education. Volunteered at an orphanage in India for one year, traveling extensively to learn the life on grounds, not in classrooms. 

Interests

Love music of all genres - Folk, Western, Bollywood, Regional, Devotional, Rap, Rock... All kind of music soothens me. But strong love and affinity for Carnatic and TRANCE.

Mountains, Treks, Forest, Nature amazes me and most of my travel are towards this gorgeous wild vibes.
And I'm more of a mountain man..

Avid reader and have few books always in my backpack.

TRAVEL - All time favourite. Prefer to travel in solo and been to all the states of India. If its an extended holiday, I will plan by evening, pack my bag and depart by night... I have many interesting stories hidden. Wanna share those on blogs, time factors!
