Like to enjoy life. Love travelling a lot and meeting every kind of ppl. Nature is my second love. I am a chemical engineer by degree (B.Tech.), worked for 4 years and then joined this place IIMB. I like traveling a lot. Another interest is Photography. Dance is one passion for me. I believe that dance is an expression of the state of mind. Do u like meeting new people and making friends thus extending your network? If u do, I am one of those ppl who are always interested in meeting new people and making friends. I always wanted to live in two cities: Bangalore and Pune. Bangalore, I am in anyway and Pune I will live there sometime. I am really enjoying my stay here in this beautiful state and Bangalore city. I have traveled extensively in Kumaon region of UP hills. Places like Binsar are heaven on earth. I have rarely seen places more beautiful than Binsar. Ranikhet, Nainital, Kausani, Almora, Girjia, Mukteshwar, Bhimtal, Naukuchiyataal, Marchula are just superb. You have to visit these places to believe the astounding variety that Nature has to offer. In Karnataka, I have toured SvanaDurga (=SvanDurga, SavanaDurga, SavanDurga), Coorg (Madikeri), Nisargadhama (=Nisargdhama), Harangi Dam, Mysore, KRS Dam, Muttati (Bimeshwari), Hessarghatta, Nrityagram, Pearl Valley, Nandi Hills, Sravanbelgola, Moodbidri, Hassan, Dharmastala, Belur, Halebid, Manipal, Udupi etc. But given my penchant for mountains, Coorg is AMAZING. Its a trekker's paradise. I love trekking, rock climbing. I am an outdoors kind of person who loves anything that has to do anything with adventure. My travelogues and adventures
