ABOUT ME

musafir . . . nomad, vagabond, traveller . . .

that's what i identify myself with . . . an architect and musician by training and a traveller by profession! i have a royal enfield standard 350 (2001), a merida cycle (2008) and a pair of legs (1979 :-) and i love the road. though places where the road hasn't reached are special.

PHILOSOPHY
