Thank you for taking out time to know more about me!
From a long time, my interests & passions have been varied from Writing to Research, Philosophy to Space Science and the list remain endless. I just love learning new things.
I like interacting with people and observing various shades of their personality. I am often told that people feel better after talking to me. As much as I love to believe it to be true, I consistently try to better myself always.
I believe judging a person lets you see only a partial side of them but knowing and understanding a person is like getting an exposure to a naive thought process altogether. So, I hope you will be interested in knowing me more & my perspectives.
After all, this world seems a beautiful place with good friends at your side!
Keep loving…!
Born and brought up in Delhi, I come from a humble background. I live with three beautiful souls including my wife, mother and sister. Each of us is completely different than the other. Had my father been alive, he too was a different personality altogether. This is one thing that has taught me to deal beautifully with all kinds of people.
Being a Millennial, I have grown up in the 90s which is unquestionably one of the best decades the recent human race have seen. It has seen it all from the globalization to the world wide web bubble, to the cold war rifts to the amazing space missions. The Indian pop music industries also saw its golden days during this time only.
Since childhood, I aspired to don a lot many hats like the rest of the kids. At one time, I wanted to become a Doctor and at some other I preferred being an astrophysicist. My parents & especially my father used to praise me to study hard & become a Doctor though. While growing up, I realized that I have a close affinity towards space science in general. And, that love grew leaps & bounds when I got a chance to read multiple books and online journals of amazingly talented scientists. I got influenced to an extent that I dreamt of becoming a part of a space mission someday. I left my persuasions of medical science for astrophysics.
Not sure about today, but there were only two great colleges/universities in India then, IISC and IIST. I had studied hard to get into those. But, in order for me to enroll for the relevant courses, I would have to leave home as both of them were located in South India at Bangalore and Kerala respectively. My father loved me dearly and he couldn’t convince himself enough of letting me go far from him. Not that he didn’t wanted to but somehow he couldn’t.
They say it right, if you have a tendency to write, you can probably be immortal. A passion which I have inculcated within. Something, which brings about an expression for the things which are best felt and are unspoken.
