Overview
About Me
An India-qualified lawyer who loves travelling.
I've done my schooling from New Delhi and have been living here since I was born. I'm passionate about learning from people's experiences and stories as my family had migrated from present-day Pakistan to India during partition in 1947 and I feel deeply connected to that part of the family's history.
The lockdown in 2020 made me read, document, and explore Delhi like never before since college was virtual and work load was lesser. This experience allowed me to appreciate the history and culture of my city in a much better manner.
Similarly, I tried exploring Lucknow, Chennai, Amritsar, Udaipur, Pushkar and Jodhpur from 2021-22 and I think that this experience greatly influenced my attitude towards life and interactions with people in general.
I absolutely love new experiences - which usually come from meeting new people and/or visiting new places - hence I am here.
If you're visiting India, I can assist you in planning your trip, booking trains/buses and recommending places to eat and shop.

Music, Movies, and Books
Apart from watching indie Bollywood movies, I like psychological thrillers from directors like Alfred Hitchcock.
Really enjoy watching movies by Martin Scorsese and actors such as Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Irrfan Khan.
I mostly read non-fiction and have been a fan of the Tintin series since childhood.
