ABOUT ME

I am an avid biker and have travelled extensively on my bike for better part of the last decade, often with only my ride and camera for company. During a weekday, I can be found fiddling with a computer, measuring life in keyboard strokes. However, I often set out of my corner office to 'Reclaim my life'.

Among several activities that I indulge in, traveling happens to be closest to my heart.
I am drawn to exploring our beautiful world, visiting new cities and towns and country side and meeting new fascinating people and experiencing their life and times and culture. The camera helps lend a new perspective of looking at the world too. It forces one to be more observant to their surroundings, notice little details that one tends to miss otherwise.

Outside of travelling, i am an ardent reader and a huge sport buff with cricket and tennis being my favourite sport.
