Pharmaceutical researcher turned social worker. Working with People Living with HIV/AIDS. Current focus is on elimination of pediatric HIV.

Love to talk when in the right company else I slip into energy saving mode. Photography, reading books, writing pieces of poetry and satire, watching drama movies, and sipping beer are some of the things I rejoice apart from solitude.

Lot of respect goes out to artists, activists, and change makers.

Compassion, empathy, authenticity and passion make me go weak in the knees.

Highly allergic to bigots, ultra-nationalists, patriarchs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
