One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If you know about India, you probably know that dealing with the Govt is like pulling teeth. Back in 1996, I launched the first cellphone rental company in India located at Delhi International Airport. But this isn't the part that I'm proud of. I did it without paying a single rupee as a bribe. Now THAT is an achievement.

This year, I attended a Vipassana course - the 10 day one. Silent meditation. Look it up. It's amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you photography. I've conducted dozens of training sessions on the finer points of photography.

I can talk to you about Buddhism, if you'd like. Or politics, or Golf, or pretty much anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can take a stunning picture of you. Well. that's easy - with me being a photographer. And I can also take shots of your place. I've done interior photography for the Marriott, Renaissance, and a dozen other top brands. So you can be sure I'll do a decent job for you.

I can cook you an an exotic meal. Being a food photographer does have it's perks. My top 3 dishes - traditional Rogan Josh, Chicken Stroganoff, and Baked Turnips braised with Maple Syrup.
