CURRENT MISSION

Someday I'll dip my toes in every ocean there is.

ABOUT ME

Am a Sunday artist, bathroom singer and a professional writer.I like to watch people at their rituals of life.I dislike a very few things in this world.Like cauliflowers and plastic wraps.

I romanticize my morning cup of coffee and my afternoon tea.And character flaws.
I read.
I think religion-based faith and identities defined by international borders are plain stupid.I hope to cultivate a stronger faith-based spirituality in myself.
My identity has no roots,simply because I am not a tree.Thats enough for me.

PHILOSOPHY

Sometimes I wish I was a starfish or a pepper tree but in most other times I love it that I am a living,breathing human being.I am happy learning to live like one.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*I watched the shenanigans by the River Ganges from a balcony that was more 300 years old.
*Fed the migratory Siberian birds sitting on a boat on River Ganges.
*Travelled with a bus-full of Hindu pilgrims to a place called Deogarh in Bihar.
*Watched the legend Birju Maharaj perform in Jaipur.
*I make most people i meet send me postcards.I return the favor most lovingly.
*The first time i bungee jumped, i felt like i had 3 bottles of Vodka in my stomach.
