I believe in being an active participant in life. I am a person of many interests and passions. I am a mentor, a writer by night, a painter, an amateur photographer and a budding mridangist.

I was born and brought up in the southern state of India famously called 'God's own country' due to its natural beauty. I grew up in my ancestral home located amidst paddy fields and backwaters.

Growing up in a green environment, I naturally developed a special fondness for nature and exploring new places.

Photography and creative writing are two things that help me connect with the world and to communicate with myself.
