About

I love learning. I enjoy sharing.

My personal journey is driven by my convictions,
And my contribution to society is driven by compulsion.

 
I engage with the world to make a difference. Else I’m happy in my own company.

I cherish life as a whole.
And believe all the different things I do, enrich me and every project I’m associated with.

Here’s an overview of where life’s taken me so far.
