He has had other brief stints as a Consultant and entrepreneurial pursuits in Short Films, e-commerce and as a Restaurateur in the past. Apart from this, he also happens to be a Yoga enthusiast and a Reiki Master Healer!

For long, he was searching for something – one that was unknown but would gift him with ‘The Joy of Life’. What was that ‘Unknown’? Finally, in the mist of haziness all around, he decided to travel across India hoping that he would find his true calling along the journey. The exploration started with an ashram in the Himalayan foothills only to evolve along the length and breadth of his incredible country. The unique aspect – it was almost solo, unplanned and hitchhiked in several phases – covering the spiritual, adventure, wildlife, nature, religion, heritage treasures of India! Clearly, by now, he had graduated from a tourist to a tough backpacker to an interesting Storyteller.

The journey had changed him as a person – physically, emotionally and spiritually. Majority of the out-of-world experiences and divinity could not be put into words. Maybe a few statistics could try to come a bit closer:
60000+ Kms / 100+ Cities / 500+ Destinations / 29 States / 6 Union Territories / meeting 150+ unique Personalities;
resulting into 1000+ Photos, 200+ Stories, 100+ Quotes, 50+ Poems.
