🔴Optional:
•Of music: Constantly trying to be rooted in our roots i.e. Indian Classical Music in a world where mirroring others is tempting and inevitable.

•Of books/reading/literature:
The love for reading has remained somewhat intact since childhood in this screen freak time.

Some days it's just:
•"In a universe that is suddenly deprived of illusions and of light, man feels a stranger. His is an irremediable exile.... This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, truly constitutes the feeling of Absurdity." - Albert Camus
And the other days:
•"And in the end, we were all just humans... Drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness." - F. Scott Fitzgerald


A little sneak peak:
•Opinionated.
•Old school.
•Humourous/sarcastic.
•Variable accent.
•Fears: snake, height.
•Terribly poor memory (blame my mental health issues if I fail to recognise you).
•Immensely interested in, curious about and an avid learner of this vivid journey called life.


🔴Conclusive note:
Any sort of collaborations or simply jibber-jabber is heartily welcomed. It's wonderful listening to all of you talented humble speakers.
Namastey. 🇮🇳
