About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Will be travelling to Ghana on a business trip

ABOUT ME

i'm very serious at work (by profession I m Civil Engg.) working with Mombasa based \British Construction Company then spend my evenings watching news n movies. I drink nice wine but habitually buy fruits on the way home on a friday night. i love to save nature and planet earth by encouraging people and trying to get more help from NGOs. I have been recognized as Corporate Hero of the UAE for taking initiatives for saving environment by the WWF Society of UAE. I have good music taste. i love to make new friends world wide and always ready to work with community work in different cultures. i am fairly intelligent but expect the people around me.

PHILOSOPHY

I had actually done some traveling before - a couple of summers in the different Sub-continents like Europe, Far east, Middle East. But about this time back in 2003, I left England for good. I had graduated university a few years before, and knew that I’d only be coming back “home” for visits (I’ve never once missed the family Diwali - a Hindu New Year dinner). But it’s not really my home any more. Since then, “wherever I lay my baggage, that’s my home”.
After devoting my life to the construction industry, university and schools had taught me nothing of any real importance. I had gone through as many books as I could and thought I knew it all, but the fact of the matter is that I have become the person I was meant to be in the last 4/5 of a decade, while on the road. And I certainly still have a lot left to learn.
