About me

GenderMale
IndustryConsulting
OccupationAuthor, Speaker, Psychologist and Psychotherapist
LocationNew Delhi, Delhi, India
IntroductionI am a psychologist, a writer and a speaker. I feel passionately for issues that relate to injustice and unfair treatment to survivors that alienate them and deny them their rights. My blogs on these issues are a reflection of what I think about it and I separate between person and behavior which I believe are separate. To me it is the ideology that is harmful and it is never the people who are the problem. I am the author of the book called 'The Infidel Next Door'. The book is available on amazon.com and amazon.in both as paperback and kindle version
