About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to enjoy every minute of my life and experience as much as possible

ABOUT ME

I am a Genetics geek..So all your questions about genetic engineering, cloning, blah blah will be answered... :)
I love to dance and travel...I enjoy travelling because I am a huge History fan and want to know all about a place I visit..Being Indian, I was exposed to so many cultures while growing up...So I enjoy learning about other cultures and the little things that the locals take for granted in their lives but seem strange to visitors...

I am an Indian classical dancer and know a couple of Indian languages..So all your questions about Indian culture answered if you are interested.

I am also a big foodie and love trying out the traditional food in the different countries I visit... I don't consider my trip complete unless I have had the local fare of the place.

I am also a voracious reader and read everything from scifi and mysteries to tearjerkers and classics..

Same with movies...But my favourites are history related ones, scifi and future dystopian movies..

Travelling to different places and seeing amazing things everywhere makes me think about how inconsequential we truly are in the whole scheme of things

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I loved my trip to Tibet in the Himalayas...It was the experience of a lifetime...We were surrounded by the Himalayas, the Manasarovar lake and nothing but a cold desert as far as the eye can see...It was sooo cold..We ate in little mud houses that the tibetans use...I loved the Yak butter tea from Tibet and would give anything to go back.
