ABOUT ME
Greetings! I was born and raised in Germany by an Indian mother and a German father. After a year of backpacking in India at the age of 17, I stayed and finished high school in Bangalore. I first worked in development aid in Auroville, then studied law through the University of London, including two semesters of attendance in Islamabad, followed by sociology and more law. After returning to Germany, I first did voluntary military service, then became a personnel officer. Meanwhile I also developed a great interest in politics, discovering solidarity as the key to a better society. I love travelling to broaden my horizon and also support people in that endeavor wherever and whenever I can.
PHILOSOPHY
If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a room with a mosquito. (African proverb)
We talk a lot about giving more. We're not talking about taking less. We talk a lot about what we should do more of. We don't talk about what we should do less of. (Anand Giridharadas)
