Professionally, I'm a development policy researcher working with an NGO in New Delhi. Personally, I'm full of life, energy and varied interests. My weekends are usually spent in travelling across North India. I usually travel solo and find it refreshing. But when I'm not doing that, I'm either cooking, writing on my personal blogs, catching up with friends or doing sports! I believe that life is all about making the road rise to meet you and I thrive on challenges and opportunities :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Edited a book when I was 20 :P

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that the universe is made of stories, not atoms and everyone has a story to tell. :) I'd love to listen to people's stories, learn from their experiences and know that while life is all about meeting and parting ways, there is always hope in them :D
