About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Twenty-12; Twenty-6 trips, Twenty-1 new countries. Waiting to see if this year carries the same intensity or not.

ABOUT ME

A pretty difficult question...!! Though I prefer people judging it for themselves, but, as its a norm here, so for your introduction, I am an easy to go fun-loving person, love to meet and talk to new people and explore the world around. An avid photographer, a nature lover and a Philosophy-reader. What else? Can be talkative at times but can sometimes appear a silent type too. I suppose I have got good ears to listen, but, like I said, sometimes the balance can swing either way. Have been in the open seas for around 6 years on a Combat Ship, so know quite a bit about life from a sailor's perspective.
Rest, let's keep something in store till the time we meet up.

PHILOSOPHY

Every moment of life is an altogether different experience itself, so live, enjoy and cherish as and what comes.
Don't wobble if a hardship comes, it comes for nothing but to make you more stronger. So never be afraid to bump in to one, just let it test your nerves. Keep trying, keep failing and keep exploring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm, finally I can sum up a few

1 - Took a ride in the world's fastest roller coaster.
2 - Fought against the pirates during a deployment in the Somalian waters.
3 - Crossing Equator on a ship; the mariners out there would know what a treat that is.
4 - Swimming in the Indian ocean in the Java trench.
5 - Well, though not an 'Amazing' thing in the true sense, but have had my past 5 birthdays at five different places in 3 continents, and would somehow like to keep this trend going on as long as the pocket allows ;-).
6 - Went atop the highest mountain in Spain and in the islands of Atlantic, the Mount Teide. Interestingly, this mountain is the closest you can feel to being on Mars.

Apart from that, have been in the vast open seas for 6 long years; numerous voyages and have had numerous experiences to share and cherish.

And though I haven't experienced this incredible thing till now, but within a very short time; witnessing the Northern Lights by my own.

Teach, Learn, Share

As per my point of view, every human being is a different story altogether, and there is always something what you can learn from almost all of them. So, no matter whom you meet, try to share what you can and learn what you should. So together we can make this world a better place.
