i'm an Indian American scientist turned educator turned technologist, but in many ways I am all of these things still and more. I contain too many multitudes. I am a writer and poet, seeing the whole world through endless metaphors and similes, words dripping off the leaves of trees like the fresh morning dew at dawn. I love labels, but hate feeling boxed in by them. I am not ever just one identity, but a patchwork of them all. I am living to live rather than living to work or working to live. I find you never truly know where life takes you, but it's important to fasten your seat-belt and enjoy the ride.
