About me

Gender Male
Location Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
Introduction I am an adventurer to the core in love with India and my 350cc motorbike, which is my trusted and uncomplaining travel companion. I like and do photography, specifically culture and architecture. I like reading and having discourse in culture, folklore, history, belief systems, art and aesthetics (all these, mostly in Indian context). I try to live life according to the verse in Tirukural 'He who knows his duty to society truly lives, all others are counted among the dead.' Verse 214. Many of my beliefs are inspired and shaped by Bhagavat Gita and Tamil poet Bharathiyar.
