Longer version:

I'm a nomad travelling in India for more than 5 years now in various capacities including without money for the most part. Now I live and travel in my own self converted van home, Maaya to host and help people along the way.

I have had the oppurtunity to live and share space with people from different backgrounds, helping me understand humans at a deeper level.

I have lived in small huts to big villas, from petrol bunks to police stations, from the road to incredible apartments.

I have lived with homeless people to businessmen, IAS and IPS officers to IT employees, people who love the Government to people who hate the Government, people who believe in God in every sense to people who hate the concept of God. Literally, different kinds of people.

I personally believe, everyone deserves to be heard and everyone deserves to be loved.

I believe in mutual healing, mutual vulnerability, mutual learning and mutual unlearning.

Travel makes me unlearn, understand others better thus myself better.

I believe there are two kinds of travel - internal travel and external travel; I'm fortunate enough to be doing both.

People have give me everything over the years, taking my van Maaya to the road is my way of giving back, by creating a space where anyone regardless of gender, race, religion, caste, creed etc can come and share anything they want without the fear of judgement.

Maaya is a place full of love and nill of judgement.

I'm a freelance content writer and a speaker.

I have also been a chef, artist, interior decorator, delivery boy, waiter, cleaner, night manager, teacher etc.
