CURRENT MISSION

I am exploring my new found passion for the environment, hoping to travel this year to find experience and opportunities to grow personally and professionally

PHILOSOPHY

"Above all, always be capable of feeling deeply any injustice committed against anyone, anywhere in the world. This is the most beautiful quality in a revolutionary."
- El Che in a letter to his children

"Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocrity."
- Will Smith
...
"The cosmic fish, they love to kiss,
they're giving birth to constellations,
no rifts and no, no reservations.
If they should fall you'll get a wish,
or a dedication"
- Jason Mraz

"I get up every morning determined both to change the world and to have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning the day difficult."
- E.B. White

"The world is a tome of which the unjourneyed have read but a single page."
- St. Augustine

"As you probably noticed, I am not an expert on the places I visit. I'm not an authority, I'm a visitor, a traveler, an enthusiast. Is it possible to feel enriched and hollowed out at the same time? Travel isn't always pretty, it isn't always comfortable. Sometimes, it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But, that's ok. The journey changes you. It should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart and on your body. You take something with you, hopefully you leave something good behind."
- Anthony Bourdain

The Lenoid meteor showers from the farmlands of Bangalore India. Incredible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to learn more about sustainable practices, growing my own food well and healthy lifestyles. I have been practicing Bikram yoga (or hot yoga) for nearly two years now and while I am not an expert by any means, I love to share what I know on the topic.
