About Me

I have worked in various cities before moving to Toronto, where I work as a business consultant with a well-known firm. "Live and let live" is the only guiding principle in life for me and so I am quite accommodating. I have a passion for learning new ideas and skills.

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading - mostly non-fiction now, but used to be an avid fiction reader(the English and Russian classics)
Skating - in Canada, this is a life skill :)

Movies- I watch movies from around the world (Indian/Korean/Iranian/Spanish/French)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Chased the Northern Lights in Iceland and photographed them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to host visiting musicians and photographers to learn more about playing the guitar and photography and possibly shoot with them.

I would love to learn how to cook new dishes from your culture's cuisine.

I can provide advice on your business ventures since that's my profession.

I can help you with local travel. I can engage you in long, stimulating conversations about science, tech, philosophy and more.
