About Me

What do I say about me? Umm, I enjoy sports, dancing, yoga, running, travelling. I enjoy most physical activities ;) I enjoy reading, watching movies, listening to music too, yes, like most other people :p I think I'm simple - I cherish small things in life - a good laugh, a nice, filling lunch, a quiet cup of coffee/tea, sunsets, starry nights and the rest. You get the drift? ;)
I enjoy solitude as much as I enjoy the company of friends and family.
I like to try new things, do new things, discover, explore. All the things that life is made up of- small, big, red, yellow, water, fire, light, darkness : D

PHILOSOPHY

Breathe in, breathe out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing at an altitude of 4500 metres in the Himalayas past midnight, you look around at snow-clad peaks as high as 7000 meters, lit by the moonlight and wonder if this is a movie set or for real!!
Watching the sun set in the Arabian Sea from the Chapora fort in Goa. Brought tears to my eyes.
Standing 40 - 50 feet away from a full grown tiger at the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan. What a moment!
