ABOUT ME

So academia is pretty much the center of my life and I'd be more than happy to die there! Life around it is rather vibrant and diverse though. I come from Bombay, studied Philosophy at the University of Poona and Childhood Studies in Trondheim. My doctoral and Postdoc research at the University of Bayreuth was is the area Childism research. I work with the University of Stavanger now.

PHILOSOPHY

If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience. (Robert Fulghum)
