About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Calling Canada home and feeling more Canadian everyday!
Learning French!
Visiting Latin America!
Did not get a chance to host much since my move to Canada, right before Covid, let's change that :)
ABOUT ME
Just a next door kinda guy... brought up in Rajasthan, India and worked with IT MNCs in India, US and Canada.
Have seen a little of this world however a lot to see and explore... the places, the people.
PHILOSOPHY
There are no accidents... Everything has a reason...
There is never nothing happening... The universe is moving towards an ultimate complexity and we are a part of it... we are active all the time, doing something or the other... so never say 'Nothing is happening'
