About Me

CURRENT MISSION

We're all fellow travellers and what better way to enjoy the one life we're given than share it with each other!

ABOUT ME

I love to increase my knowledge a bit-by-bit everyday, be it through watching films, reading books, talking to people or even discovering new music!My friends say I think a lot about everything, which is not always necessarily bad!I've moved to the small cosy town of Pisa, Italy from the hustle and bustle of the big city (Mumbai, India), so i am currently enjoying living the European life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"The most astounding fact about the universe is the knowledge that the atoms that comprise life on Earth the atoms that make up the human body are traceable to the crucibles that cooked light elements into heavy elements in their core under extreme temperatures and pressures. These stars, the high mass ones among them went unstable in their later years they collapsed and then exploded scattering their enriched guts across the galaxy guts made of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and all the fundamental ingredients of life itself. These ingredients become part of gas cloud that condense, collapse, form the next generation of solar systems stars with orbiting planets, and those planets now have the ingredients for life itself. So that when I look up at the night sky and I know that yes, we are part of this universe, we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that THE UNIVERSE IS IN US. When I reflect on that fact, I look up – many people feel small because they’re small and the Universe is big – but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars. There’s a level of connectivity. That’s really what you want in life, you want to feel connected, you want to feel relevant you want to feel like a participant in the goings on of activities and events around you.. That’s precisely what we are, just by being alive…"
-Neil DeGrasse Tyson
