About Me

1) I hate writing 'About Me' - makes me very nervous - conscious - at loss of words.
2) I am an Indian, did my undergrad in Chemical Engineering from IIT, worked in International Development for couple years, now studying Environmental Management at Yale.
3) Hobbies - I am a non-professional but very passionate dancer, an intermediate Yogi. I love hiking, biking, backpacking.
4) I read LOTS of books - fiction, non fiction, academic papers, and so on.

I am young traveller - just started in past 3 years or so along with full time high demand consulting jobs and now with grad school. But someday - (this "someday" is a addictive thing) - I will travel the world - all of this big wide world - with my tiny little feet ☺️
