CURRENT MISSION

To live life to the fullest. Travel, see different aspects of the planet and enjoy the diversity of life and cultures and cuisines ( yes definitely cuisines!!).

ABOUT ME

Born in India. Lived here. Have traveled around the country as a kid with the parents and as an adult because of my job. Recently have started traveling to see it in detail, some times alone and sometimes with wife and kids and am really enjoying it. India has a huge diversity of cultures, these have to be seen to be believed. I plan to travel abroad soon and then as often as I can. I am 6’ 2”, and while I am convinced that religion is STRICTLY a personal affair I will mention here, just for the record, that I was born into the Sikh faith and have chosen to keep it (even if in a happy-go-lucky way!).

PHILOSOPHY

Like in just about anything, balance is vital in life.
(The following writing says all that I want to, in a way much better than I ever could, so I reproduce it here in toto. I respect copyrights and no infringement is intended, merely a desire to share a great piece that I came by).

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
