CURRENT MISSION

Discovering life!

ABOUT ME

I am an engineer by profession. I want to know as much as I can about this world that we live in. At times, I can get very philosophical and try to find the meaning of my life. At other times, I am just normal :P. There are a lot of things that interests me. Travelling around and getting to see different places is something I have been interested in very recently. My first trip abroad was to the UK on business and I just loved visiting the different places there. After that I have been to various places, and every trip has been a different experience.

PHILOSOPHY

I think one should have as many experiences in life as one can, so that when he looks back to his/her life in 30 years time it rather not be a dull life. You only live once and you will definitely have grandchildren who will need to hear stories.

Interests

I love watching movies ( I grew up watching Bollywood movies, how can i not like them!). I love reading non-fiction, especially about modern history. I also follow the news a lot. Keep myself updated about different things going on in different parts by reading international newspapers/magazines (e.g. The Economist) and watching international news channels (e.g. B.B.C, AL Jazeera etc.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) Snorkelling around Phi Phi Islands in Thailand was really awesome. I felt so lively swimming with the fishes

2) The natural beauty of this place called Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, India. The journey through the hills was also very thrilling and astounding.

Teach, Learn, Share
