About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel all countries of the world

ABOUT ME

I am travel freak. I am at my best when travelling. I am avid amateur photographer. I like to explore places, meet people & understand their culture & just wonder the amount of variety humans have here.

I stay in Pune with my family, (wife and son).

PHILOSOPHY

World is round! What you give comes back to you as well
Even this shall pass by...
Travel increases your wisdom and tolerance than any book. Do not tell me how much educated you are, tell me how much have you traveled?
