PERSONAL

I have been brought up as a child of the Indian Defence Forces since my father is an officer in the Indian Army. Frequent travels within India have put me in touch with diverse cultures and people and it further makes me want to travel the globe for more diverse cultural experiences. I love photography and dabble in the arts by sketching, painting and the occasional short poem. I am interested in the field of graphic design and apart from frequenting all the Innovation related blogs that I link to, I also visit various design-related blogs and websites. I invest time in the ASIDE innovation blog as it allows me to learn, more than anything else. I have met a large number of very talented professionals via the internet and often repeat "Thank God for the Internet!"
