About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and meet new people. I believe that geography,language, culture, religion,ethinicity etc cannot be a barrier in pursuing this mission.

ABOUT ME

I am a retired Central Government officer and now settled in Maharashtra.
I am an active, open minded, well informed, progressive,fun loving, sensitive single gentleman. I am adjusting by nature. By choice I am a teetotaler and a pure vegetarian.

PHILOSOPHY
Keep caring, sharing and smiling because life is too short to waste on trivial things.
