About Me

The beautiful view of Mother nature while feeling a Cool breeze over a walk by a river or a lake or in the woods or on top of the mountain. Walking through the museums and art galleries. Walking at night throughout the city watching the nightlife and historical monuments. Meeting a random person and having a memorable conversation.

I am from India, born and brought up in a small town. I enjoy all aspects, emotions and situations in life. I even enjoy waiting long for the bus or train or a flight at the airport... I like to practice observational meditation which involves witnessing your thought process. I like to call it "Emptying Your Bucket".
Apart from this, I am a graduate with a degree in Electronics and Telecommunications. After doing a degree, I worked in the IT industry for 9 months. Then I started traveling to various tourist natural spots like Hampi, Goa and Rajasthan in India. During my travel, I met a lot of people all around the world. I gave my service as an unpaid tourist guide to a lot of foreigners and made so many friends abroad. Then I studied hospitality in Switzerland for 6 months, lived in Spain for 6 months. Then I got an internship in Austin Texas for a year. Then I traveled to USA and Europe for 4 months. I did a second internship in the middle East afterward. Then I did my 3rd internship in New Hampshire, USA. By the end of my internship, the COVID pandemic happened and my internship ended prematurely. I was stuck in the USA for around six months. I used my time to travel to Boston, Michigan, Seattle and San Diego. Then I traveled to Mexico. I visited Puerto Escondido, Cancun Patzcuaro, and Mexico City. Then I went back to India and traveled to the religious cities of India such as Varanasi, Bodhgaya, Udaipur, Leh, Kasol and Hampi for the second time.
I like going near any sea, finding a peaceful spot and sitting in peace, emptying my bucket so to speak, I like having creative conversations about life, the universe religion, history and spirituality with people from various cultures. I love playing tennis, table tennis and pool/ billiard. I love making guacamole, lentils (Dal), Spicy Potato bread (Aloo Paratha), Spicy chick peas and fried rice.
