Although from India, I feel the world is my home. Having studied abroad with a scholarship and being fortunate to work, train, study in different countries and continents - I could gather the means to travel around and explore a bit of our wonderful planet. I have always been a very strong secular humanist and after travelling across continents I have become more respectful to people having different beliefs and outlooks towards the world. Travelling and living in different countries in the last 3 years have made me very interested to understand the nuances of the world and its conflicts - which have increasingly drifted me towards understanding global politics. Armed with a strong curiosity I have reoriented my career towards social science academia and I will be starting my PhD this fall with full funding. Now, I am working in Germany and trying to enjoy this beautiful continent for the last few months. Let's talk more when we meet! Cheers!
