About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Overcommit to experience!

ABOUT ME

really never been very good at these things. Basically, you can get a general feel for the kind of person that I am from the rest of my profile, and from the few pictures that I have on this site.

PHILOSOPHY

Still trying to figure this one out... I guess I just enjoy life as it happens, generally try to keep as unstressed as possible, while still getting things done! I also try to do everything for the benefit of people and the community in which I live, and try to "be the change" I wish to see in the world

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sikkim... a state in India, close to the border with Tibet. I was there for about a week... absolutely amazing scenery, climate, people, everything.

Also, and I know this may be cliche (for a med student), but dissecting a cadaver is an amazing experience that has ultimately changed the way in which I view the human body and life

Teach, Learn, Share

My school in India is a part of a network of colleges around the world called the United World College network. It's based on an ideology centred around breaking down inter-cultural barriers as well as interacting with the local community... So I can share my experiences from there.

I'm also studying medicine now, but only second year, so the knowledge is quite limited :p
