About Me

You might want to grab a coffee/ beer to finish of this..;)
To start with basically a Konkani speaking who's native is in Kottayam, Central Kerala. A land known for highest literacy rate in India. Besides you can find out some beautiful backwaters, fresh coconut toddy and spicy fish curry and lots more.
By fate i have chosen to become an Engineer, as every(most of us) Indian does, from a renowned college in Coimbatore. That makes me descent in Tamil(language) as well.
My current profession is into an IT giant(though i don't do coding) in Mysore since 2011. Have been travelling since then.
But my greatest decision to travel started once i crashed my bike during an Ooty trip and was bed ridden for 30 days...:)
Have done biking in Ladakh, Leh-Manali highway, Mysore, Rameshwaram, Coorg, Hassan, Bangalore, Kodachadri, almost whole Rajasthan...But i am not a hardcore regular biker though, even then i can repair a few things in a bike..:)
Have completed Trips to Delhi, Varanasi, Hrishikesh, Shillong, Tawang, Mumbai, Chennai, Pondy, Goa, Aurangabad, Guwahati, across Kerala..
I work as a photographer part time, you may find me shooting at weddings, streets, parks, historical places and so on...;)
You may also find me in the gym 3-5 days a week, as i believe a day with good work out is a day well spent.
I Love to travel, try out new food- especially Street food, Photograph new places and meet new people and make conversations out of nowhere..:)
