Overview
About Me
Hey there! I am a city explorer and master travel planner. I just love soaking in the vibe of different places and experiencing their festivals. I truly believe that every little thing on this planet has an impact on us, and I am all about immersing myself in the diverse cultures out there.
By profession, I am into biomedical research, working to bring advanced medical treatments to the people in India. It's my dream to make these treatments available to as many folks as possible.
Check out some of the hobbies here:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My friends and I chose to spend the night at Plaça de Catalunya station as we were budget-travelling.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am all about the joy of learning, and if there's one thing I can teach you, it's how to embrace that curiosity! As a biomedical scientist, I get a kick out of sharing my research adventures, especially when it comes to finding kick-butt cancer treatments.
But, hey, my interests aren't all lab-coat serious! I am diving into the world of Indian classical singing and experimenting with various painting styles. Oh, and planning trips? That's my jam – the most thrilling part of my life, hands down!
When I am not in the hustle, you will catch me meditating or getting my nature fix through hiking, camping, or anything that brings me closer to the great outdoors. Life's an adventure, and I am here for it all! 😊
Btw, some people refer to me as 'Jugaadu'. It comes from a colloquial word in Indo-Aryan languages, referring to a person who excelled at finding a non-conventional, frugal innovation, often termed a "hack". Let's see how can I make jugaad in our next travel!
