ABOUT ME

I am a school Principal and my primary profession is teaching. I love travelling and have travelled to all continents except South America and Antartica!. My passions is music, I play the Sitar, but listen to all kinds of music, soft rock being a favourite.

My sons had bands of their own, but split up after all went different ways post Class 10 Boards. I am also into cross country touring on motorcycle and go out once in a while with my other biker friends. Photography is my other passion and I also own a photo lab where we print digital and analogue photos, and also sell cameras and photography accessories. I love reading English fiction and try to to read the latest by Indian authors in English.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing so far really!!! Waiting for that to happen! Closest would be riding my motorcycle to Khardungla pass in Ladakh, the highest motor-able road in the world. Please see pic in gallery. And yes, letting hyenas feed off my back and almost off my mouth in a weird ritual in Ethiopia. OK, tandem skydiving in the US and bungee jumping in New Zealand!
