My Story
“Babu moshaay!
Zindagi badi honi chahiye, Lambi nahi..”
- Anand (1971)
​
That’s life philosophy, isn’t it?
Well it became mine recently. Well, not that recent (If you consider it happened around 2018).
But let’s start from the beginning.
Here it goes:
Once upon a time, in the small town of Ranchi far, far away (1813 kms from my current location to be precise), there lived a boy.
Got decent grades.
Took up PCM.
Went for engineering.
Fell in love with robotics and art.
Graduated.
Went for MBA.
Fell in love with photography, entrepreneurship and the idea, that the world is much, MUCH BIGGER than what he’d imagined.
Graduated.
Got into the 9 to 5 race in 2017.
Still running.
The difference though?
All those years since engineering, with such varied experiences beyond his dreams, and realizations of what his life could be, with Anand’s philosophy (Those who haven’t watched, please do >> Anand (1971). It’s there on Prime, duh!)
So here’s the same story, with the touch of Anand. I call it,
“ The dreams beyond the 9 to 5 ”

The ink’s still fresh, and the book is too big.
The writing must go on.
Life; Must go on.
Also. Since you’re already here, AND you have already read through above, keep exploring the website.
Have tried to capture the glimpses from my journeys, and have sprinkled the breadcrumbs around the website.
Baki if you’re in Bangalore, or I’m in town, chai pe baat karte hain.
Or coffee.
Chalega na?
